If you're on the lookout for an eye-catching summer wedding guest dress that also works for a range of warm-weather events and special occasions, Fearne Cotton's blooming floral design is an exceptional choice, and it features a clever, flattering design feature.

Attending The Hurlingham Polo Association International Day, Fearne was spotted alongside actress Emily Attack wearing the pretty design. Not only is the feminine print elegant, but the clever bow-detail shoulders create a flattering finish that provides just the right amount of upper arm coverage.

Designed by Rebecca Vallance, the Melora Bow-Detail Floral-Print Midi Dress had fans asking in their droves where Fearne's dress was from. To accessorise, she balances the vibrant pink and red hues with cream ankle-strap pumps, before finishing with a layered necklace, silver hoops and oval sunglasses.

When shopping for occasionwear dresses, not only do you need to consider the silhouette, colour and print, but finding small but flattering design details is a must. And although it's often tempting to rely on classic short or long-sleeve designs, an off-the-shoulder cut has the perfect amount of upper-arm coverage, making it something to look out for.

Fearne's dress is not just a flattering choice, and the vibrant shades and lively florals make it an eye-catching choice for attending summer events. Lean into the pastel pink shade and style the dress with these peep-toe block heels now in the Phase Eight sale for a coordinated finishing touch.

If you're anticipating cooler temperatures or you're attending an event that runs late into the evening, layer up with a white linen blazer. This double-breasted style from Nobody's Child is a sophisticated choice.
