The Dress That Feels Like a Breeze on the Hottest Days
Written by Belinda Hart, 58 · Melbourne
Do you have a summer dress you love on the hanger but never wear? It clings the moment the day warms up, or it sits tight at the middle. So back it goes, and on the hottest days you end up in the same old shorts and T-shirt.
Why a summer dress often feels like a risk
The lightest ones are so often sleeveless, and I stopped wanting my upper arms on show years ago. So the cardigan comes along, even on a 33 degree day. And the loose ones can look like something you would only wear at home.
A dress that caught my eye
The Tessa Comfort Summer Dress feels soft and airy, so you stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. The short butterfly sleeves cover your upper arms, so the cardigan can stay at home, and they still keep you cool. But the best part is the relaxed, flowing cut: it falls away from the middle instead of clinging, so you never find yourself pulling it away from your tummy, and it moves with you. It is easy to wear every day, and still neat enough for lunch out.
Three easy ways to wear it
- A beach walk: flat sandals and a straw hat.
- Lunch with friends: low block heels and a small bag.
- A warm evening out: heeled sandals and gold jewellery.
Available in Blue, Turquoise and Green, sizes S to 2XL.

Another thing I really appreciate about Scott & Daughters is how much thought they've put into making the shopping experience feel easy and worry-free. Shipping is completely free across Australia, and you receive your tracking details within 1–2 business days, so you're always kept in the loop.
What I find especially reassuring is their 30-day money-back guarantee. You can try everything on in the comfort of your own home, take your time deciding, and if something isn't quite right, simply contact their team within 30 days to arrange a return or exchange.
And don't forget to use their bundle discounts if you've got your eye on more than one piece. You save up to 25% with four or more, all automatically applied at checkout.
It's these little details that, to me, make shopping with Scott & Daughters feel that much more comfortable and reassuring.
