Painterly • Ruffled • Statement Midi

A large-scale folk floral in cobalt, magenta and apricot, thrown across a cream ground.

The Hinoki Journal

Cream is only the paper here. The print is the dress.

Big painterly blooms and curling leaves in cobalt, magenta, apricot and deep brown, drawn at a scale where a single flower spans a hand. It's the loudest thing we bought this season and it knows it. The construction stays out of the way and then does one clever thing: the ruffle starts at the neckline, travels over the shoulder, and becomes the sleeve, so the entire top edge reads as one continuous frill. Smocking pulls in the waist, the skirt drops into a gathered tier, and there are pockets.

Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki

Every so often you need a dress that makes the decision for you. Put this on and the outfit is finished — no jewellery, no jacket, nothing else patterned. We keep one of these in the shop at all times.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

Everything else stays quiet — bare legs, a flat sandal, hair up. If you want a bag, pick one colour out of the print and match it exactly.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Machine wash cold on gentle, hang to dry. Wash separately the first time to protect the brights.
