"Summer afternoon—Summer afternoon...
the two most beautiful words
in the English language."

Henry James

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are chirping, and an appointment with your dentist, who had scheduled extensive but probably unnecessary work, has been cancelled.

(Well, supply your own idea of perfection.)

It's a day to dash out joyously into the sun, (wearing sun block and floppy hat) in the perfect A-line sundress.

So intelligently cut, it enables you to get the right exposure without sacrificing elegance and style.

Just in case you don't have one of those:

Chelsea Floral Sundress (No. 2740).

Pure lightweight linen in a romantic floral pattern. Fully lined. Sweetheart neckline. Gathers at bust. Shaped armholes. Darts on bodice. Side seam pockets. Beguiling drape.

I'm sure Henry wouldn't have minded if you wore this right into the evening.

Women's sizes: 2 through 18.

Color: Cream Background with Pink, Rose, Yellow, and Green Floral.
