Sunflower Shift Dress from Boohoo
The shift dress may well have become a timeless cut that each decade can make its own, but there's little argument that the sixties did it best. That might explain why many modern designs rely on a sixties inspiration, like this Sunflower Shift Dress from Boohoo.
The use of florals has the cute and quirky feel of mid-sixties design, without plumping for the more obvious choices like daisy print. While the shift shape is simplistic, the mini hemline and lace insert keep the retro influence at the forefront.
