Speziale Print Dress, £89.50, by Per Una at Marks & Spencer

Although the temperatures may still be below zero, Laura Davis shows you Per Una’s ultra-feminine spring collection

WITH sales of anti- freeze soaring, it may seem like the wrong time of year to be thinking about buying floaty sundresses and sleeveless tops.

But many people are doing just that as they plan to escape the chill on a sun-kissed island just a plane ride away from home.

Now that most of the really good sales bargains have been snapped up, spring collections are starting to appear in the shops.

But you’ll have to wear a cardigan over the top, or perhaps several layers of thermals.
