Cool White Summer Dresses
August 7, 2010 by Ceri ·
What could be more summery than a cool white summer dress. The colour white works amazingly well to show off a golden summer tan whilst on holiday and when you get back. White also reflects the sun helping you keep cool, calm and collected on even the hottest of days. This year white summer dresses are huge trend and they can be adapted for all sorts of situations from casual daytime to smarter work outfits and stunning party outfits. Wear your white dress on its own for a simple minimalist look or combine with brightly coloured accessories for a boho festival chic style. Just be carefully which underwear you wear with your white summer dresses, bright or dark colours may show underneath, for invisible undies with a white dress always choose either white or flesh coloured.
The White Maxi Dress
A crisp white maxi dress is the perfect addition to your summer holiday wardrobe. This white maxi dress by Dorothy Perkins is incredibly easy and comfortable to wear, you can even throw it on over your bikini. Add chunky beads and strappy sandals or an elegant pair of flip flops for an outfit that is perfect for strolls along the beach or a night out.
The Pleated White Dress
This Prunella pleated white dress by Coast is a really sophisticated version of the little white dress. It would work well for parties and summer occasions and would look good with a structured or tailored jacket.
The White Lace Dress
This lace double layer dress by Oli the perfect way to work the summers romantic trend. It has a feeling of innocence about it but is also really sexy and great for parties. You could also wear with pumps or over jeans as a tunic for a cute daytime look.
The White Shift Dress
White shift dresses are perfect for special occasions in the summer. We love this white corsage shift dress by Planet which would look stunning when teamed with a brightly coloured wrap or shrug. How about also adding contrasting colour shoes and a clutch. .The classic style is reminiscent of Jackie O and the detachable corsage gives it a sense of occasion
The White Party Dress
Who says that white dresses need to be be plain? This stunning bead and mesh halter neck dress by Goddiva is from plain with its beautiful embellishment around the neckline and flattering empire line shape.
The White Body Con Dress
For those that are really daring, this studded bodycon dress by Little Mistress turns any assumptions that white has to look pure and innocent on their head. The figure hugging shape and stud details make it a great alternative to the traditional rock chic dark colour scheme.
White summer dresses are bright and incredibly eye catching but need to kept spotlessly clean for maximum effect. Avoid sitting anywear that might mark your dress and avoid brightly coloured food or drink when wearing a white dress. If the unthinkable happens when wearing your white dress or it starts to lose its clean white glow, you can find specialist products to wash it and make it look as good as new again.

July 26, 2010 by Ceri ·
The summer seems to be packed with all sorts of special occasions from weddings to days at the races, graduations to garden parties, all of which call for gorgeous special occasion dresses which will make you look beautiful. A special occasion in the in the summer is the easiest to choose a great outfit for. A beautiful summer dress, a pair of gorgeous shoes with a few carefully chosen accessories and you are good to go. For a more formal summer event you can also add your choice of a chic and elegant hat or trendy fascinator.
As special occasions are often quite formal in nature, they will often call for a great dress that is also quite respectable, so nothing too short, low cut or revealing. Instead look for dresses in luxurious fabrics that skim rather than cling. But that does not mean that you cannot have fun with your occasion dress in great prints, bright colours and with some amazing accessories. If your special occasion lasts into the evening, you will probably also want to consider some sort of cover up that keeps you warm but also compliments your beautiful dress. Pashminas, wraps, shrugs and boleros all look great with occasion dresses as they don’t interfere with the line of the dress.

Coast dresses are always great for a special occasion with just the right amount of on trend style and flattering looks. This summer they have a great variety of occasion dresses including bright and colourful prints, bright whites and bold primary colours.

Take your pick from beautiful turquoise, pink or white accessories to go with this fresh and bright Zita dress, perfect for keeping cool in a hot summer day. It would also work really well for evenings out whilst on holiday.
This Prunelle pleat dress is not only unusual, it is also very gorgeous. White is definitely one of the key colour trends for the season and also looks amazing with a sun tan.
This colour blocked maxi dressis the perfect way to wear the summers hottest trend for maximum impact. It can be worn two ways. Either strapless or with the detachable sash as a halterneck. Perfect for a formal barbecue on a red hot summers day.

Summer Dresses Top 10
April 5, 2009 by Womens fashion Team ·
The clocks have gone forward and the weather has taken a turn for the better, time for us to think summer dresses.
I’m sure like many of us at womensdresses.org.uk, you’re perhaps starting to look ahead to those warm summer days, and perhaps the great social events that maybe on the horizon; maybe a wedding, a special family occasion, or a holiday.
All the same, you need to think about that one essential item of apparel for those events, that of the Summer Dress.
After been wrapped up in layers like a Swiss roll all winter, you can dare think of warm evenings and the liberation that you feel when wearing that killer dress, that summers dress you look great in and friends comment about.
I guess it all kicks off at Easter, and as it isn’t as early as previous years, we at least have a prospect of getting early summer weather over what for many of us is a holiday weekend.
Below we’ve made 10 dress suggestions that you may consider, they are by no means suppose to be the best summer dresses or anything like that, as we appreciate it’s a very subjective issue, it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
However, the dresses are not all from one store, we’ve tried to look across the board at what we think is a eclectic mix of dresses at fairly reasonable prices with several different styles, but one think in common is that they are all great summer dresses, and best sellers within their respective labels.
We do hope you like them, and we would love for you to give us some feedback. You can do so in our comments section at the bottom of each page on the is website.
