So yesterday was, apparently, the first ‘official’ day of spring, but we’ve already started stocking up on our summer essentials. If you need to do the same, this feminine dress ticks the trends for spring/summer 2011 and is a bargain to boot – perfect, non?

In spring’s signature pastel tones, this mint green dress will suit a summer glow whilst ticking the box for this season’s pleats with its floaty, flippy skirt. Plus, the peter pan collar brings the look together with just enough preppiness to ensure you’ll be able to wear this pretty piece right through the year.

Wear with bare legs and minimal gold accessories come spring and with tights and a chunky knit whilst it’s still a bit chilly to make sure you look suitably lady-like whatever the season.

Get this sweet dress now and keep on wearing it – it even comes with a detachable tan belt, too.
