FASHION SPEAK
FLOPPY ASYMMETRICAL
SLEEVES FOR A WHITE
EMPIRE-LINE DRESS
CAN LOOK WONDERFUL
DURING THE SUMMER
HOLIDAYS.
or a swimsuit are a necessity on a resort holiday
in shades of blue, purple, black and white in
abstract shell-like motifs. It’s the dress that ticks
all the fashion boxes. When the sun sets over
the horizon and the stars twinkle, it’s a black,
sheer, shimmering, batwing shift dress that will
attract all the attention. This is a garment that is
ideal beach-cum-resort and red-carpet wear for
all fashionistas.
Another great kaftan that will stop conversation
comes in blue georgette with black edging and
a tasselled neckline. Over a matching bikini,
this is the garment that can be slipped on and
off with the greatest ease. A white will-powered
cotton maxi with horizontal lace detailing makes a
fashionable style statement at not only a brunch
but also lunch and dinner. Another stylish pair
of coordinates is the white blouse and tiered
skirt with lacy insets to add excitement. Floppy
asymmetrical sleeves for a white empire-line
dress can look wonderful during the summer
holidays, while an Aztec-inspired, printed midi
skirt and bikini top works really well for modest
sunbathers. When beachcombers want a little
dressy excitement, the printed pareo can double
up as a sarong over a swimsuit. Turn into a
colourful flamenco dancer on the beach in a
black, lacy, drop-waist, strappy mini with multi-
coloured, horizontal, floral embroidered insets.
The practical sack dress is a simple fashion
statement when presented in royal purple with
yellow and pink stripes. Q
