Celebs have been arriving at this year's Chelsea Flower Show in their best spring-ready florals, and one guest's dress stood out from the crowd. TV presenter Charlotte Hawkins donned a stunning floral midi dress for the occasion, and we can already envisage it being perfect for those upcoming summer weddings we have in our calendar.
Her exact dress is the Scallop Edge Plunge Twill Printed Midi Dress from Coast, and has been reduced from its usual price of £129 to £96.75 here, saving you 25% in the brand's spring sale. You can also still currently snap it up in all sizes from 8-18.
The midi dress was a geat choice for the Chelsea Flower Show, combining the event's smart dress code with a colourful, playful twist on classic floral patterns. Rather than a dainty flower print, the dress has large oversized flowers covering every inch of the dress in an array of vibrant, bold colours that reflect the blooms spotted at the annual garden design show.
Rather than a mish-mash of shades, the colours work in a gradient, starting with bold blue and pink hues on the skirt and moving up to pale yellow and white on the bodice. It also has added scalloped details along the V-neckline that mimic the shape of petals, giving it an elegant touch.
The dress is made from a twill material that lets it hold its shape, with a fitted bodice and flaring midi-length skirt for a classic, graceful silhouette. If you're worried about the light fabric being see through, it's also fully lined to give you extra coverage, reports the Mirror.
Coast describes it as the perfect choice for formal events like weddings, race days or graduations and we couldn't agree more this is definitely a one you'll come back to time and time again, especially with so many big occasions happening over the upcoming summer months!
If you prefer a slightly simpler silhouette and design, Quiz's Pink Floral Dip Hem Midi Dress, £49.99 here, has a classic British country-inspired look with an ivory base and an oversized pink peony print. It also features a square neckline and dipped hem that's flattering on all body shapes, with a fitted bodice and flared skirt that flatters your figure.
You can also snap up a matching Pink Floral Split Sleeve Crop Jacket for £26.99 here, which makes a lovely coverup for cooler evenings or is perfect if you prefer to cover your upper arms. You can also re-wear it with a simple jeans and a T-shirt for more casual occasions.
