Dresses to wear to the Chelsea Flower Show

9 April 2026

We’re already looking forward to the Chelsea Flower Show, which kickstarts the summer season. And we’ve got some fabulous dresses lined up for you to wear to the event! With floral patterns and colourful prints, this year’s flower show is going to be a feast of fashion.

Siren dress

Created by brand Palm Noosa, the Siren dress features a bold pattern of tropical leaves as part of the Riviera print. This botanical piece is a short-sleeved maxi dress made from a cool cotton poplin, with a structured point collar and a D-ring belt. Amongst the leafy print is contrasting piping that adds extra interest.

Belle dress

The Belle dress takes the same wonderful Riviera print of the Siren, above, and gives it a different style. This one is a square-neck maxi dress with a fitted bust and A-line skirt. Chunky straps keep you really cool, as does the premium linen that forms this piece. This dress has a really lovely shape that is perfect for a summer day at Chelsea.

SalmaDEA dress

The SalmaDEA dress in sky blue brings a touch of romance with its large tonal peony print. Long and floaty, with a fabric belt and stand collar, this is bound to be your top pick if you value comfort yet still want to remain stylish. Finally, made of 100% linen, this promises to be a dress that you can wear all day without overheating - ideal for summer sunshine.

Jizo shirt dress by Essentiel Antwerp

We love how easy a shirt dress is to wear for an utterly laid-back style. The Jizo shirt dress by Essentiel Antwerp is no exception and, with its olive colour and dotted floral print, you’re sure to feel both stylish and comfortable. The A-line midi dress is made up in a textured fabric and features a collar, pockets, and a fabric belt for cinching the waist.

Amarante skirt and Phaedra top

This season is all about two-pieces, and combining the Amarente skirt and Phaedra top makes a perfect Chelsea Flower Show “dress”. The black base only serves to enhance the colours of the stunning embroidery that makes these pieces really stand out. The skirt is straight cut with slits on either side, while the top is wide and slightly cropped. Together, they give the impression of an ultra-chic, relaxed dress.

KamillesDEA dress

A shirt dress is one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe and the silk KamillesDEA dress effortlessly combines the casual with the classy. It’s a shorter piece, down to the knees, with a tonal blue pattern of blossoms. Pair it with a sandal for blissful daywear while you’re admiring the blooms in Chelsea!

IdaniaDEA dress

If you love the bold blossom pattern of the KamillesDEA, but prefer a longer length, then the IdaniaDEA dress is ideal. With the same stunning pattern, the IdaniaDEA is made of 100% linen, with long sleeves, a loose fit, and a tied waist. Wear it with a high neckline, or slightly unbuttoned for a v-neck. There are also pockets!

Maira flora dress

The Maira flora dress by Farm Rio is giving us classic 90s vibes with its spaghetti straps, fitted look and square neckline. It’s totally stylish and perfect for a flower show with a vibrant floral pattern that dances down the sides of this navy maxi-length dress. It’s an elegant dress that is plenty of fun and has a joyful look to it.

Dream landscape skirt and top

Farm Rio is well known for its eye-catching patterns and prints, and this skirt-and-top combo is no different. The whimsical pattern has just blown us away with its vibrancy - it brings a real joie-de-vivre to your wardrobe! The Dream landscape midi skirt has a full silhouette and a pattern that combines mushrooms, palm trees and much more. The matching top has a similar vibe with a magical landscape scene dominated by toadstools, as well as spaghetti straps and a fitted bodice.

Salmo dress

The Salmo dress from iBlues is a timeless shirt dress with a bold all-over print of ruby palm trees ideal for the Chelsea Flower Show. Coming in at a midi-length, the cotton muslin dress has a flared, figure-skimming silhouette with gathered 3/4-length sleeves and a button-up front. To make it extra versatile for those hot summer days, it’s lined with a removable slip and has a detachable fabric belt.

Francis dress

You can rely on Pink City Prints for a fun summer dress that you can fall in love with. The Francis dress is whimsically girly in white, and dotted with playful embroidered cherries throughout. Crafted from wafty cotton voile and finished with intricate cotton lace inserts, it features short puffed sleeves, a flattering V-neck, statement ruffled collar and relaxed, easy fit.
