Beach Dress | Sleeveless A-Line | Ocean Print Summer Dress

A loose beach dress in four ocean prints

This sleeveless dress is cut to hang away from the body. A gathered yoke at the round neckline releases the fabric into a wide A-line that falls from the bust, so nothing pulls across the waist or hip on a warm day.

The fabric is thin, light and breathable. It does not cling to damp skin and dries quickly after a swim, which is why it works pulled straight over a bikini. The wide shoulder straps sit comfortably and cover bra or bikini straps better than thin spaghetti straps do.

There are four prints to choose from, all on a fresh white ground. Starfish sets large starfish built up from shell motifs in soft sand and blue tones. Birds is a nautical print of seagulls, ship wheels, life rings, anchors and a smiling sun. Shells draws fine outlines of shells, seahorses and starfish in blue, yellow and green. Sea Creatures is a deeper navy print of jellyfish, fish, rays, starfish and shells.

Sizes run from S to 5XL and the cut is deliberately generous. The chart gives the bust and the length for every size, and if you sit between two sizes the larger one will fit better.
