The photos do not do the colour justice - these murky greens do not photograph true to colour. It is a beautiful green sage, with a silvery finish.. The silver is not really in the colour, but the shine of the linen. I mean, it's not shiny like patent leather, I mean shiny for linen, still retaining the natural fibre look. Definitely not as grey as the photos would appear. This dress outstripped my expectations - sits beautifully round the neck, true to size, (although I am an XL I bought a Large as there are no real key measurements to watch and I really only needed it to fit to my neckline, I find with Evas Sunday I can often size down depending on key measurements), length exactly as stated. It's nice to have a sleeve for spring, there are lots of sleeveless dresses in the collection so this one is perfect for Spring. I was going to pair with neutrals but black and especially a textured black, like a velvet or patent shoe magnificently enriches the look.
