Temperance Maxi Dress

Plenty of summer cocktail dresses go sleeveless. The Temperance does it in linen, which keeps the shape soft while it still holds a line.

Worth Knowing

• Fabriclinen, honest in photographs and in person
• Sleevesnone, cut clean at the shoulder
• Lengthfull, straight through to the floor

It earns a place next to far dressier pieces without trying to be one. Wear it three days running and it only improves.
