Available to buy separately to coordinate with existing items in your wardrobe or bought together as a ready to wear suit gives you two great options. The high square neck dress has a smart appearance for formal invitations and subtle shaping is thanks to the self-fabric belt.
This sleeveless belted shift dress has a quality feel that is instantly transformed when partnered with the matching jacket. The advantage of a dress and jacket for all-day events is you can quite easily change the look with other accessories for the evening.
Worn on its own the sleeveless dress leaves the way open for you to experiment with some dressy jewellery; bracelets in gold or silver and diamante add a touch of glamour. Changing the jacket for a different style cover-up with lace or contrasting colour is another option.

I love your dresses and matching coats, but I llive in the US. How can I have your products mailed to me?
Hi
The dresses and matching coats we feature are taken from various stores. Unfortunately not all of them deliver outside the UK and Channel Isles. The good news is John Lewis offer an international delivery service to the US.
You will find the independent stores that we have on our dress and coat section have concessions within John Lewis department store too. So you may find the same outfit sold there that can be shipped out.
You will find Gina Bacconi, Hobbs, L.K Bennett, Coast, Phase Eight, Reiss, Chesca, Windsmoor, Planet, Kaliko and Fenn Wright Manson brands at John Lewis.
There is a great Summer Event Occasion Shopat John Lewis where you will find outfits for a Day at the Races, Cocktail Party, Garden Party, Graduation, Wedding and Black Tie events.
