Amber Bloom is an orange African print shirt dress in a warm mix of amber, orange and deep charcoal. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, it features a classic shirt collar, short sleeves and a relaxed swing silhouette that falls away from the body for easy movement.
The button-through front gives the dress a familiar shirt-dress structure, while the generous A-line shape keeps the fit loose through the waist and hips. Two deep side-seam pockets add practical functionality, and the unlined cotton construction keeps the dress breathable and easy to wear through warmer weather.
With its short sleeves, loose swing shape and breathable cotton fabric, Amber Bloom also works naturally as an African print summer dress without losing its shirt-dress identity. Wear it for holidays, summer weekends, sightseeing, lunches and relaxed daytime plans, or include it in your Ankara summer wardrobe when you want colour and print without a close-fitting silhouette.
This African print swing shirt dress can be worn buttoned as a complete outfit or styled open over a simple top with trousers or shorts as a lightweight printed layer, giving you more than one way to wear it throughout summer and beyond.
