Does your summer dress stick to you by lunchtime?
Many women have stopped peeling their dress away from their body on hot afternoons. They found one that skims instead of clings. These are 6 reasons why.
You walk the market on a sticky summer afternoon. Bag on your shoulder. And before the second stall, you are already pulling your dress away from your back.
Sound familiar? You are definitely not the only one.
You have done it for years. You don’t even think about it anymore. Only at home do you notice it. The dress that clung all day. The waistband mark. The hem you kept tugging over your knees.
We hear it from women in our boutique every summer. This is what we learned, and why it can be different.
1.
“Every summer dress I own clings to me in the heat.”
A breezy dress that skims your body instead of clinging.
Most boutique dresses are cut close to the body. On a hot afternoon, that is exactly where they stick.
The Valérie is lightweight and breezy. The loose shape skims the body from shoulder to hem and swings with every step, so it keeps you cool on hot days.
The market, a walk by the water, errands around town. You stop pulling at your dress.
2.
“After a long lunch, my waistband is all I can think about.”
No waist seam, no belt, no tie. Nothing presses on your middle.
Most dresses are built around a waist seam or a belt. Lovely when you stand up. Less lovely after a long Sunday lunch and dessert.
The Valérie has no waist seam, belt or tie. It falls loosely from the shoulders and gives you room to move all day.
3.
“I don’t want to show my knees anymore.”
It falls to mid-calf. Your knees stay covered.
Most boutique dresses stop at the knee or above it. Sit down on a low chair or on the grass and you spend the afternoon tugging at the hem.
The Valérie falls to mid-calf, a little above the ankle. Sit on the picnic rug, reach for the basket, stand up again. Your knees stay covered.
The little cap sleeves cover the top of the shoulder, while your arms stay free.
4.
“My wardrobe has gone plain. I blend into the background.”
A bold print, in six colours.
Black, navy, beige. Safe and easy, and after a while a little invisible.
The Valérie has a bold abstract print of large white curves and crescents on a coloured ground. Choose Black, Green, Blue, Red, Orange or Purple. A modern pattern that always looks fresh.
The V-neck gently lengthens your silhouette. It is a fairly deep V, so if you like more coverage, a fine singlet underneath works well.
5.
“Packing for a holiday means a different outfit for every occasion.”
One dress for the beach café and the dinner after.
Most holiday packing turns into a suitcase full of maybes.
The Valérie feels just as good on holiday as it does around town. By day, pair it with flat sandals and a tote. In the evening, swap to a block heel and add your favourite earrings.
6.
“A nice summer dress always costs well over a hundred dollars.”
$69.95 AUD instead of $169.95 AUD. Sizes S to 3XL.
Most boutiques charge well over a hundred dollars for a summer dress. In our New Chapter Sale the Valérie is $69.95 AUD instead of $169.95 AUD.
It was tried on and approved by the Scott and Daughters team in Melbourne before it went online. Sizes S to 3XL. In doubt between two sizes? The size chart on the product page shows the bust and the length for every size.
Try it on at home. If it is not right, you can exchange or return it within 30 days. Every order is sent with free shipping and tracking.
Cool, covered and easy to wear
Scott and Daughters is a family boutique in Melbourne. Julie chose every piece by asking one question: would I wear this myself? Julie is handing the boutique over to her daughters Emily and Charlotte, so everything is in our New Chapter Sale.
Choose your colour and your size. And if it doesn’t fit, you simply send it back.
