Shift style dresses originated in the 1920s as Chanel made loose, corsetless dress.  These new dresses worn by 'flappers' were easy to shift or move about in, hence the term 'shift dresses'.

Shift dresses suit long and lean, apple and athletic shapes especially when worn with a heel.  The dress falls down straight from the shoulders creating a boxy shape that doesn't cling to the middle section.  Perfect for hiding that tummy whilst still feeling comfortable and looking stylish.

Joanna Hope is all about high quality classic occasion wear.  This gorgeous floral lace design, fully lined, in a pale grey giving a very cool, elegant and sophisticated look.
