As a fashion editor, I appreciate a summer dress that keeps things breezy, flattering and comfortable. So, when I was browsing the latest Debenhams sale, one floaty number caught my eye immediately. The Sienna, as Debenhams calls it, is a cream and black kaftan with a gorgeous boho mandala print, ticks all those boxes, and with 34% off in the Debenhams sale, it's a brilliant buy. The kaftan style may be a perennial beach staple, but this dress is so much more than a cover-up.
