Be The Sunshine Cotton Twist Dress - Tropical Blocks Blue

Stay cool and stylish this summer with the best-selling Be the Sunshine Cotton Twist Dress. Designed with our hot Australian summers in mind, this classic short-sleeved sun dress offers all the details you love - a flattering V-neckline, neat pintuck shaping on the bust, and a generous, flowing cut that drapes beautifully to a below-the-knee hemline. And yes, it has pockets!

Made from 100% breathable cotton, this dress is as practical as it is pretty. It’s machine washable on a cooler, gentle cycle, requires no ironing, and is ideal for travel - just twist it loosely to store.

Good to know:

Is it true to size? Intentionally designed to be a very generous cut, you can comfortably size down in this shape for a neater fit. For reference, Nicole is photographed wearing the size 12 and is 163cm tall with a bust of 100cm.

Does it need a slip? We have photographed this design in natural daylight and without a slip so you can see the lightness of the fabric. The all-over print and crinkle texture of the cotton does provide sufficient coverage for most. However, if you're looking for full coverage, yes, you'll want to pop a light cotton slip underneath.

Being cotton, will the fabric shrink? No, the cotton has been pre-shrunk so you fit will stay true.

How do I restore the crinkles after washing? Once your dress is dry, simply twist through the length of it and tie in a light knot for storage.

How is this style different to the One Summer Easy Fit Dress? It's the same shape, but longer. These are exclusively made for KOBOMO by the One Summer team in our longer, knee-covering length. The sizing you may find is more generous too.
