    Yes yes, it's still jumper weather, but a girl can dream, right? Especially when she sees what is essentially summer in a dress.

    It comes courtesy of resort sleepwear brand Three Graces London, and its new collaboration with iconic British fashion and textile designer Dame Zandra Rhodes.

    The dresses feature a custom banana leaf print, hand-sketched by the artist herself and transported directly onto the floaty, 100% silk dresses that are in the brand's DNA. They were inspired by her late 70s collection.

    Speaking of the collaboration, Rhodes said, 'It's been fabulous to interpret my Mexican Banana Leaf print to be used on this beautiful collection by Three Graces. To see my prints enhancing these lovely wearable dresses is the ultimate of what any designer could ask for and another star to celebrate my 50 years as a designer.'

    Each design is named after a woman, and our favourite has to be the floaty Diana, in homage to the Zandra Rhodes dresses the late Princess used to wear.

    Dress it down with espadrilles or up with minimalist heels.
