Waves Of Bliss

There are floaty frocks, and then there’s the sort of dress that leaves you wishing you’d made room for a portable wind machine in your summer handbag. The Waves of Bliss dress is every lover of comfort’s dream dress, and even those who spend all their time pretending to be severe fashion critics will find it difficult not to swoon. It’s smart-casual in all the right ways, with tailored gathers at the bust and waist so the fit is sharp - but then it gets away with an extra flared hemline and sky-high slits on both sides because it knows the playfulness works. It can be dressed up, or it can be unashamedly casual. Or both, which is very on-trend, right? The elastic at the waist is doing a brilliant job here, by the way, and so are the halter ties that keep everything secure up top. The material is a silky synthetic blend that skims over curves and makes the entire dress feel cool as ice, regardless of how warm it gets outdoors. With one thing clear: this is holiday dressing done right.
