Fifties come up roses

Perfect for sauntering along French boulevards, try this little red number on for size (but make sure it's not too tight)

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THIS red dress from Oasis is quite lovely. For a start it's called a "Parisian Rose-print Dress" which makes me come over all chic and summery - like I'm in a film.

The best things about it are the shoulder straps and the neckline; the straps because they're just the right width to be optimally flattering to your shoulders, and the neckline because it's very sophisticated. Although it's quite Fifties in style, it has a side split which means you can walk easily.

Don't buy it too tight or it won't look right, and be aware that you can buy it in regular or longer length depending on your height.

Wear it with a little cardigan and some sandals (really nice, heeled, red ones with roses from Shellys), and it will look great with tanned skin.

Never lie about where it's from, though, as there's one drawback to it: unfortunately, the print is instantly recognisable.

Red dress (sizes 8-14), pounds 49.99, Oasis. Enquiries: 01865 881986.
