Product Details

Ochre Grove is a brown African print shirt dress patterned with ochre yellow circular motifs, burgundy and grey leaves and a graphic cream and dark brown background. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, the mixed-scale pattern gives the relaxed silhouette plenty of detail while keeping the overall shape uncomplicated.

The dress is cut straight through the body with long sleeves and a curved above-knee hem. A structured stand collar frames the neckline, while the button front keeps the shirt-dress construction clear. Functional pockets add an easy practical finish for everyday wear.

For women building an African summer wardrobe but wanting more coverage than a short-sleeve dress, Ochre Grove offers another option. Its unlined cotton construction, relaxed fit and shorter hem allow it to sit naturally alongside other African summer clothes while remaining unmistakably a long sleeve African print shirt dress.

Pair it with sandals or flats for holidays, sightseeing, casual lunches and relaxed summer weekends, then continue wearing it through transitional weather when temperatures begin to fall.
