Lime Orbit is a short Ankara shirt dress in black, vivid lime green and burnt orange, cut from 100% cotton wax print. Large circular motifs run through the body of the dress, framed by bright botanical leaves that bring strong colour and contrast to the dark background.

Instead of following a straight shirt-dress shape, Lime Orbit opens into a generous swing silhouette that widens from the upper body towards the hem. Short sleeves, a pointed shirt collar and a button front keep the design clearly rooted in the shirt-dress silhouette, while the fuller shape gives the dress plenty of easy movement.

Of the new shirt dresses, Lime Orbit carries the strongest summer feel. Its short sleeves, loose swing fit and above-knee hem make it an easy African print summer dress for holidays, sightseeing, warm weekends and casual summer days. Pair it with sandals, trainers or flats for a relaxed Ankara summer look.
