説明
Length changes how a dress is read. A hem at the ankle slows everything down: the walk, the gesture, the way light moves across the fabric. That is why the long dress has never really left, and why it keeps returning in a new print every summer.
The Sunward is a straight-cut maxi in polyester with a floral print and an O-neck, zipped at the back and finished with full-length sleeves. The numbers matter here more than the adjectives. The length runs 150 to 152 centimetres depending on size, which puts the hem at the ankle on most wearers rather than dragging behind them. The sleeves measure 74 to 76 centimetres. Bust runs 82, 86 and 90 centimetres across S, M and L, with waists of 60, 64 and 68. Those are garment measurements, not body measurements, so the dress is meant to sit with a little ease rather than cling.
The back is where the design makes its decision. It is cut away above the waist and left open, so the full sleeve and the high neck at the front are balanced by bare skin behind. In daylight the print does the work. After dark the contrast does. Either way it is one piece that needs nothing added to look finished.

Where It Belongs
The full sleeve and ankle hem make this a warm-climate dress that still covers, which is a narrower category than it sounds. It works for a garden party where the sun is the problem, a holiday dinner where the evening turns cool, and a wedding guest role where the brief says floor length without saying formal. The open back keeps it from reading conservative. Paired with flat sandals it is a day dress; with a heel and a single earring it is an evening one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose between S, M and L?
A: Measure your bust and waist and compare against the garment figures: S is 82 cm bust and 60 cm waist, M is 86 and 64, L is 90 and 68. The cut is straight with slight stretch, so allow 2 to 3 cm of ease by sizing up if you are between two.
Q: Will it be long enough if I am tall?
A: The hem runs to 152 cm at size L. Above about 170 cm the ankle length becomes a mid-calf hem, which still works but sits higher than on the model.
Q: Is the back very open?
A: It is cut away above the waist at the back. The front stays high with an O-neck, and the full sleeves balance the shape. Standard adhesive support works with this cut.
Q: Does the print fade?
A: Polyester holds print colour well across repeated washing. Wash cold and dry away from direct sun to keep the contrast sharp over several seasons.
Q: Can it be worn to a wedding as a guest?
A: Yes, in an evening or garden setting. Choose a solid shoe and a minimal bag, and keep the jewellery small, because the print already occupies the eye.
Q: Is the sleeve tight on the arm?
A: It is a regular full sleeve with slight stretch, cut to sit close without compressing. If you prefer a loose sleeve, size up, because the straight silhouette carries extra room well.
Q: How much does the print vary between pieces?
A: The print is placed by the metre, so the exact position of the floral motif differs slightly from piece to piece. The colour balance stays consistent across sizes.
