Long Cotton Dress with Cut-out Detailing White

The white cotton pieces give this Dolce & Gabbana selection a cleaner starting point, before raffia, gold hardware and Carretto print bring back the house’s familiar love of decoration.

The first thing we noticed here was the white cotton. It is an unexpected place to start with Dolce & Gabbana, a label that can happily give you embroidery, gold metal and a print with ten things happening at once. The long poplin dress is the piece we noticed first. It falls almost to the floor, with a round neck, bare arms and cut-out details that stop it feeling plain.
