Light as air and loose enough for unrestricted movement, this summer the soft, floaty summer dress is the only addition your wardrobe needs. If you are planning a summer holiday, attending a summer festival, or simply staying on these shores waiting for a sunny weekend by the seaside, a dress by Ghost will roll up as small as a T-shirt and can be thrown in the washing machine to be worn again and again.You might have noticed that the shops are full of synthetics, more so than since the days of bri-nylon and acrylic in the Seventies. You may also have noticed that synthetics do not mean cheaper clothes. Some garments have 100 per cent nylon printed on the care label, alongside a dry clean only symbol. It seems there is little advantage in buying the new-style synthetics, even if they do feel like silk. The only plus point is that fabric with a percentage of man-made fibers will remain wrinkle-free. And at least sloppy summer dresses will not be tailored too close to the body for comfort.
A loose-fitting dress can be liberating, especially if you are used to wearing trousers in the office. And if you are less than 5'8", a single colour can lengthen and flatter. Nothing is easier than wearing a single item head to toe. Flesh coloured underwear is recommended: bra-straps are prone to show. Most underwear companies include skin tone bras and knickers in their ranges. Calvin Klein and Gossard make underwear designed to be nearly invisible.
If wearing a summer sundress seems too much like wishful thinking, do not despair. However sun-deprived you might feel, the sun will appear at some point this summer and when it does, you might as well be prepared. But beware. Bare shoulders are prone to turning red in the sun. So wear a hat with a wide brim and don't forget the sun lotion- or you can always pick out one of the fresh girls summer dresses with short sleeves on it.
