From tiered dresses to T-shirt cuts, these dresses are amenable to plenty of summer plans. <\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re spending the festive season with out-of-office turned on, or clutching at quiet moments throughout a more regular routine, these long dresses are amenable to time spent lounging. <\/p>\n
\n From a sky blue
\n rib knit by Dominique Healy to vibrant blurred florals by Lost and Led Astray, these pieces offer a sense of ease for even the busiest days of festive season.\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tiered dresses seem to be an increasingly popular style, as they create a breezy and billowing silhouette. This one, from Marle, is a pale blue (but they also have versions in black floral and pinstripes). <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This tartan, a favourite of Grey Lynn-based designer Penny Sage, is custom-dyed \u2013 meaning you won\u2019t find this textile elsewhere. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This season, Kowtow has delivered the ultimate go-everywhere dress. It features balloon sleeves, a drawcord waist and is 100% cotton. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A basque waistline flares out into a full skirt, creating a floaty silhouette. Sizes are running low for some, but there are more available in black<\/a>. <\/p>\n This colourway is called tangerine, capturing the vibrancy of the shades. The print is captured from hand-carvings onto printing boards, done by Tavioni family artists. <\/p>\n Two floral prints are brought together for this lightweight frock. The cut is slightly asymmetric \u2013 you can see the reverse print overlaid on the right shoulder. <\/p>\n This vibrant dress captures flowers in motion. It also features draping through the bodice and subtle pockets. <\/p>\n A print from the Karen Walker archives, first showcased in 2011, has been revived. The pink and orange floral is fashioned into tops, shorts and dresses \u2013 with draped sleeves and V-neckline, this is the most sweeping. <\/p>\n Are you a picnic person? If so, tell the world with this sweet, cherry red gingham dress. <\/p>\n A cluster of flowers (daisies perhaps?) decorate the front of this T-shirt dress by Raven Design, an NZ label based in Napier. <\/p>\n A simple rib knit from Dominique Healy\u2019s resort collection embraces another summer staple: sky blue skies. <\/p>\n This preppy navy dress has subtle seams that create pleasant structure but it\u2019s still easy to wear. It also features pockets. <\/p>\n A black, sleeveless maxi dress is the summer staple that solves plenty of problems \u2013 a base to build on. This version by The Carpenter\u2019s Daughter is 100% linen, so it will welcome in the breeze.<\/p>\n There is a limited run of these puff sleeves maxi dresses from Juliette Hogan. If your size has been snapped up, but you love this cut, consider their plain black colourway<\/a> or this similarly-shaped dress<\/a>. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re seeking a breathable material for the hottest of days, consult stocks of silk. This slip, by Australian label Silk Laundry, is a shining example of a wearable dress that lets the air in. <\/p>\n More seasonal picks<\/p>\n From cosy layers to lighter jackets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From tiered dresses to T-shirt cuts, these dresses are amenable to plenty of summer plans.
