Now Minx is a BIG fan of cycling in skirts and dresses on account of the flattering things they do to her thighs. It's not so much to do with being girly (because actually you can work the tomboy look very successfully), as being comfortable. So when she discovered the Nuu-Muu brand it was like coming home.

From the clean A-line shape, to the keyhole cut out on the neckline this is a simple but stunningly well-executed piece of kit. Let's start with the the keyhole. For best modesty on a bike you need a higher neckline, but if you're more generous of chest that's not always the most flattering look. The teeny cut out flashes just enough flesh to give the right proportions but without revealing anything. The armholes are cut in enough to provide freedom of movement, but will cover your sports bra (there's no built in bra,so you have the versatility to underpin it as best suits you or even layer over a long sleeve base). The shape looks athletically gorgeous on boyish figures but skims more curvaceous types to give shape without clinging.

A great extra in a dress is pockets that work on a bike and the Nuu-Muu has two that snuggle so discreetly against the small of your back that you hardly notice them if you're not using them. Leading Minx to decide that she won't bother shopping ever again, she'll just wear this for every occasion.

Made from a smooth-as-silk polyester and Lycra blend that wicks and dries fast in use then washes easily so you can be good to go the next day if you want. Length approx. 30" from front neck to hem.

Minx likes: wear it over a warm base in winter, a t-shirt and skinny jeans for off-duty style, with bare arms and a tan in summer. Is this love? You bet.
