FAQs

Which Designers are Best for Special Occasion Summer Dresses?
We love Joseph Ribkoff, D Exterior, Charlotte Sparre, and Riani for summer dresses for special occasions. These designers combine cool materials with stylish cuts and patterns to help you stand out at special events.
Which Dress Cut is Most Flattering for Summer?
Wrap dresses are particularly flattering for summer – they subtly cinch the waist, creating a classic feminine silhouette. The flowy skirt is also perfect for summer, making for a more comfortable and breezy feel.
Shirt dresses are also flattering and set to be popular for summer 2024. They have a more structured and tailored look, perfect for both casual and dressy occasions.
Are Printed Dresses Suitable for Special Occasions?
Absolutely, as long as the dress fits the stated dress code. Printed dresses are particularly popular for summer events and special occasions such as weddings and garden parties.
How Do I Choose a Special Occasion Dress for Summer?
We think the material of the dress is very important in summer, as you want something that’s going to keep you cool but also flatter your silhouette. Viscose is a good choice as it’s lightweight and breathable while still looking elegant.
Additionally, consider the length of the dress – a midi or maxi length is often more appropriate for special occasions – and the colour and pattern. For summer, go for bright, cheerful prints or pastel shades to match the season.
