Olive Ray is a green African print shirt dress in lime green, magenta, purple, pink and deep black. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, it features a classic point collar, button front, statement long sleeves and a full circle skirt.

A matching self tie belt lets you adjust the waist, while two side seam pockets add practicality. The knee length cut and unlined cotton construction make it easy to wear for work, weekends, holidays and smart daytime occasions.
