Elegant clothing, over-50 fashionCould there be a more delicious Object of Desire than today's dress which is also perfect to pack for a holiday weekend?  The Lille dress from Monsoon is in gorgeous shades of raspberry ripple which drape over the bodice and tuck into a cinched waist.  The front is slightly cut away to reveal a glimpse of tanned thigh.

Machine washable, this dress is so easy to roll into a suitcase for the summer holidays, but will stun at cocktail parties too.  Slipped under a tailored blazer it will even pass muster at the office before you take it out for the evening.
