Printed Mini Dress from Debenhams

Printeddress

Sixties fashion in Britain is often best remembered for psychedelic styles, and while this was a trend that was relatively short lived, its influence is clear to see in modern retro pieces. This Printed Mini Dress by Red Herring is an ideal way to wear a bold print without looking like you've just come from the dressing up box.

The key is the simplistic cut of the dress, with an a-line cut, strapless top and mini hemline creating a surefire sixties silhouette. The choice of light, bright shades of orange, pinks and and off white background add a vintage-shop air to a fun and vibrant floral.

It's available now from Debenhams for £29.
