About the Print: At most village fêtes, one of the biggest events of all is the cake competition. Tables and nice tablecloths holding the weight of sponges, traybakes and carefully piped showstoppers, all lined up and waiting to be judged.

While circling the tent, eyeing up the contenders, quietly confident your Victoria sponge might just outshine your cousin’s lemon drizzle this year. There’s chatter about the lightest crumb, the glossiest icing, the best decoration. And let’s be honest you’re mostly wondering how many slices you can get away with trying.

About the Style: Philippa is the ultimate comfort dress. Made from light, breathable fabrics, she has an easy, flowing shape that feels cool and relaxed on warm days. Her gentle waist seam creates a soft silhouette, while the updated sleeve design adds to her effortless charm. With no belt or fuss, Philippa is simple to wear, flattering on many shapes, and perfect for everyday summer dressing. We hope she becomes a go-to favourite in your warm-weather wardrobe.

Who Made Your Dress? Philippa is made by Satnam and his team in our London factory. For more information on the fabrics we use at Palava, click here.
