With the Chelsea flower show last week and the long bank holiday weekend spent tending to the garden, I’m feeling like summer really is here. Our gardens are definitely starting to bloom from forget-me-nots to roses , and looking alive and vibrant.
When I look through our latest collections, the essence of summer echos through each outfit and, in particular, we have a few floral pieces that, to me, celebrate the newly bloomed gardens and British landscapes.
My favourite floral pieces in our catalogue are our printed jersey set and our floral printed chiffon set both of which are light weight, carefree and easycare items perfect for summer and both incredibly versatile for mixing and matching with your current wardrobe.
Printed jersey separates
Beautiful jersey print pieces made in a pure Pima cotton jersey, manufactured to exacting standards in Austria. The easy-to-wear pull-on style dress has a slightly dropped waist, a scoop neckline, short sleeves and patch pockets. Length 44". The pull-on trousers have little gathers and useful pockets beneath the neat stretch waistband and a relaxed shape that ends with a neat fit at the ankle. Length 30". The three-quarter sleeve top has a bound scoop neckline and a deep hem with side slits. Length 25".
All of our Jerseywear pieces featured in the above image are made of 100% pima cotton and are washing machine friendly on a cool setting.
Chiffon pieces
Featuring a beautiful summer flower print in flattering shades of hot pinks, reds and violets, this light chiffon piece can be used to make a stunning outfit. The long blouse has a mandarin collar, pretty pin tuck fronts, three-quarter sleeves with buttoned cuffs and side slits in the hem. The matching scarf is edged with a stitched pin hem. The lined pull-on skirt has a soft elasticated jersey band at the waist, skims over the hips and finishes with eight godets forming an attractive flare at the hem.
These chiffon items are washing machine friendly on a cool setting.
If you don’t fancy an all over print why not opt for one of our floral printed jersey tops. We have a variety of colours and designs, but this tropical blue and green one is my favourite. Our jade mock front floral top is also a great option and has been up in our top ten best sellers since we launched summer - so grab one while you can.
We have some fantastic photos below taken at the Chelsea Flower show last week by one of our team members relatives, Barry Bond.
