Spiral Vine is a cream African print shirt dress with burgundy and navy detailing, made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print. Repeating circular motifs cover the upper body, while sweeping botanical leaves and contrasting borders create a completely different pattern through the lower section and sleeves.

The relaxed straight silhouette is finished with long sleeves, a stand collar and a button-through front. A curved above-knee hem keeps the shape casual, while two functional side pockets make the dress practical for easy daytime wear.

The lighter colour palette and unlined cotton construction also make Spiral Vine a useful piece of African summer wear for women who prefer more coverage through the arms. Wear this Ankara shirt dress with sandals or flats for holidays, sightseeing, warm-weather weekends and relaxed summer days.
