This women's short sleeve cocktail dress is the pretty one that still feels easy. The bodice gathers into a twist at the centre of a sweetheart neckline, soft flutter sleeves sit off the shoulder, and the skirt flares out from a high waist. There is a bow tied at the back, which you only notice when she turns around.

Why you'll love it:

• Flutter short sleeves, genuinely rare on an occasion dress and much easier to wear than strapless
  
  
• Twist front sweetheart neckline that lifts and shapes the bust without any structure
  
  
• High waist and a full flared mini skirt, the most forgiving shape there is
  
  
• Bow tie at the back that cinches the waist to fit you exactly
  
  
• Four colourways: black for evening, plus cornflower blue, mint green and yellow
