Purnell Crosshatch Women's Sun Dress

There’s a fantastic 1950s summer vibe going on in this Purnell Crosshatch Women's Sundress. Generous pleated skirt, fitted bodice, adjustable straps and (oh happy day) pockets too, this has the charm of a casual Dior in a summer weight cotton for twirly, whirly, happiness. This look is totally classic because it is terribly flattering, skimming the body and flaring out in a generous skirt, with a squared off neckline that flatters everyone. Deceptively simple, perfectly graceful, the summer sundress that you can dress up for work with the Purnell Cotton Wrap Sweater or a light scarf tied around your neck, and head down to the beach in. Courtside, dockside, munching lobster rolls and wondering if you have room for one more crab cake, this is the summer dress of offshore islands, bonfires on the beach, and driving with the top down. Make a few memories this summer of crazy, lazy, summer days in a dress that skips lightly through the sun. Such a marvelously classic silhouette in a fabric that feels light and buttery with the most adorable white pearl buttons to set it off, once you’ve owned a dress like this you are spoiled for life. When you pull it out of the closet next spring it will be like meeting an old friend you’ve missed for too long.
