Carrie Symonds Wore A £285 Dress From This Slow Fashion Brand For The Pride Of Britain Awards

The latest celebrity to join the green dress brigade - a social media movement this summer that saw influencers wearing frocks in forest, fluorescent and frog green - is Carrie Symonds.

Joining her fiancée, Boris Johnson, for this year’s Pride of Britain Awards, Symonds wore a frill-collar dress in so-called fern green from Seraphina. Made from ‘baby thin’ corduroy, the dress is now available for pre-order and costs £285. Cinching in at the waist, and flaring to just below the knee, it has the shape (and sweet-spot hemline) that acertain duchess always gravitates towards for public outings during the pandemic.

The brand makes all its clothes in India - the place where founder, Fiona Hodges, really fell in love with the idea of sewing and dressmaking - and prides itself on its slow fashion credentials and short supply chain.

While the nation’s hopes are pinned on her other half, and whether or not the new lockdown restrictions will pay off before Christmas, it seems mildly ironic that this would be the ideal thing to wear during the festive season.
