Women's Holiday Dresses for Summer Escapes

From light day pieces to elegant evening silhouettes, this edit covers summer heat, party nights, and everything in between. We focus on comfortable fits that you can pack easily and wear on repeat, ensuring you look effortless whether you're by the beach or at a bar.

Shop by Length: Maxi & Casual Fits

If you love a graceful sweep for evening drinks, explore our cuts with floor-grazing hems inspired by our maxi dresses. For warm afternoons and easy coastal walks, try our breathable shapes and shorter cuts, perfect for those seeking the comfort of our daily dresses range.

Day to Night Styling

Versatility is key for travel. Style a light sundress with sandals for the day, then add a slim belt and statement earrings after sunset. Heading to a resort dinner? Mix in light layers from our resort wear collection to sharpen the look without overheating.

Breathable Fabrics & Seasonal Colours

Black and deep hues read polished for evening events, while soft brights feel fresh for daytime. If you prefer a crisp aesthetic, browse pieces that pair perfectly with our white dresses edit. Our lightweight weaves and smooth linings keep you cool, ensuring confidence through travel and parties where colour and comfort matter most.

Mini, midi, or maxi for my trip?

It depends on the destination. Minis are great for the beach, midis are versatile for sightseeing, and flowy maxi frocks offer that effortless elegance for sunset dinners.

Best fabrics for packing light?

Look for travel-friendly weaves that shake out easily. A quick tip: hang them in the bathroom while you shower—the steam helps release creases instantly.

Are these sun dresses see-through?

The Aussie sun is unforgiving! We use quality linings or denser weaves to ensure opacity. A nude slip is always a good backup for white frocks.

Taking a frock from beach to bar?

Easy. Cinch the waist with a belt, swap thongs for wedges, and add statement gold jewellery. You're ready for cocktails in seconds.

How does the sizing run?

We use standard Australian sizing. Check the fit notes on the product page—if you prefer a breezy fit for the humidity, consider sizing up.
