Where Florals Work

Floral prints appear across swing dresses, tea dresses, skirts and blouses. For other prints, see polka dots and checks and plaids.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you wear a floral dress without it looking dated?

Keep everything else plain. A floral dress with solid-colour shoes, a plain cardigan and simple jewellery reads as deliberate; adding a second print competes with it.
What is a ditsy floral print?

A ditsy floral is a small-scale, densely repeated flower pattern, usually with no obvious direction. It was common in 1940s dressmaking because small prints used fabric efficiently and disguised wear.
Are these genuine vintage floral dresses?

No. Collectif designs new, vintage-inspired clothing. The prints are drawn from period designs but produced on modern fabrics in modern sizing.
What sizes do your floral dresses come in?

Our clothing is available in UK sizes 6 to 26. Check our fit and size guide before ordering.
