Verdant Ripple is a green African print shirt dress in emerald, lime, copper and deep earth tones, cut from 100% cotton Ankara wax print. The relaxed swing silhouette falls away from the body for easy movement, while the structured shirt collar and concealed button placket keep the overall look polished.

Short sleeves and two deep side-seam pockets add practicality, while the midi length gives the dress enough coverage for work, lunches, family gatherings, church and smart-casual occasions. The botanical-geometric print brings strong colour without needing extra embellishment.

Its short sleeves, unlined cotton construction and loose swing shape also make Verdant Ripple an easy choice for warmer weather. As an African print summer dress, it offers more coverage than a shorter sundress while still feeling relaxed enough for holidays, summer weekends, sightseeing and warm daytime plans.

This African print shirt dress can be worn fully buttoned as a dress or left open over trousers, shorts or a simple top as a lightweight printed layer, giving you more than one way to style it through summer and beyond.
