This week’s highlighted dress is the print pleat shirt dress from Teatum Jones at Label Mix, part of an exclusive collection offered by Next. Label Mix collaborates with emerging designers to bring unique and standout pieces each season. This dress, crafted by the London design team Teatum Jones, takes a classic, safe dress style and transforms it into a lively and eye-catching piece with its stunning prints. The contrasting patterns between the top and skirt stand out much more than a uniform print dress, making it great for those wanting to experiment with mixing patterns and colors.
To note, the dress tends to run small. If you’re aiming for comfort, consider sizing up. Wearing a size ten, I find myself needing to suck in my stomach, given the dress is quite fitted at the waist. This may not be the ideal fit if you find yourself contorting for comfort, but let’s overlook that for now…
The midi-length pleated skirt adds a touch of Vintage American Girl Next Door Going To A Hoedown vibe, enhanced if paired with cowboy boots. For a laid-back and modern feel, sneakers complement it well. The buttoned top, typical of shirt dresses, offers versatility; it can be styled open for a casual look or serves a practical purpose for breastfeeding mothers on the go.
Teatum Jones’s Autumn/Winter collection boasts vibrant colors and striking prints, capturing the essence of cheerful winter fashion. Label Mix does a fantastic job of bringing high-fashion collaborations to the high street, making designer wear more accessible. While designer collaborations aren’t new, Label Mix offers a fresh, edgy twist.
You can find this Teatum Jones dress at Next for £160. Remember, it’s wise to size up for comfort. When shopping online, I often order multiple sizes to have the perfect fit, taking advantage of Next’s free returns policy.
