Product Description
There are dresses you wear once a year and dresses you reach for again and again. This is the second kind.
A long, sleeveless maxi in soft draping fabric that skims the body without ever clinging. It moves beautifully when you walk. It photographs well in any light. And it works for the long list of occasions a real woman over 45 actually has in her diary — summer weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, garden parties, holidays where you finally have somewhere proper to dress up for.
Eleanor is the dress that earns its place in your wardrobe across a whole decade.
Why you'll love it:
Soft draping fabric — flows beautifully with every step, never clings, never creases in the car on the way to a wedding.
Sleeveless cut — the right balance of elegant and easy. Layer a soft cashmere cardigan over the shoulders for cool evenings, or wear bare for warm summer occasions.
Flattering through the body — the fabric skims rather than hugs. You can sit down for a three-course meal without thinking about it.
Maxi length — properly long. Falls to the ankle for a graceful elongating line that works whether you're in heels or flat sandals.
Lightweight and packable — folds into a small space in your suitcase. Hangs the creases out overnight. Travels beautifully.
Wear it for:
A summer wedding as a guest. A daughter's milestone birthday. Your own milestone birthday. A Mediterranean holiday dinner on a terrace. A christening. A garden party. An evening drinks reception. A Christmas Eve dinner with the family. An anniversary meal somewhere lovely.
Style it:
For a formal evening — strappy heeled sandals, a small clutch, gold drop earrings, a soft pashmina for the cool evening air.
For a garden wedding — flat tan leather sandals, a straw clutch, layered delicate gold necklaces, a cropped linen jacket for the church.
For a relaxed holiday dinner — barefoot or in flat sandals, a long delicate pendant, hair pinned softly back, glowing skin.
Fit & care:
True to size. Choose your usual UK size for a streamlined fit, or size up for a more relaxed flowing drape. Gentle cold wash or hand wash, hang to dry, cool iron if needed.

Hello, I’m James. For 37 years, I’ve put my heart and soul into selecting and putting together clothes that will last – not just for a single season. Today, the big chains have taken over, and I’m preparing to close the doors of my workshop for good.
My granddaughters have come to help me through this final stage – and it is thanks to them that I have found the strength to give you this final gift. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this adventure. ❤️
