The Volcom floral dress (opposite page) is
lightweight cotton that folds perfectly into your
festival bag. This dress has ¼ length sleeves
- these types of dresses are excellent if the
sun is beating down all day and you want to
cover your shoulders and back from the
strong rays. Alternatively it looks brilliant
underneath a warm cardigan or rain
jacket to protect yourself from rain
and mud. The floral season is at its
height throughout the summer and
we’ve got a few great designs to mix
and match with outfits.
My favourite dress that I would
definitely recommend is the
charcoal grey Volcom dress that
I’m wearing here. The print is really
unusual, replicating a cosmic
atmosphere and looks absolutely
stunning when it’s blowing in the
wind. The dress is lightweight and
soft, with a zip detail where you
can tuck your festival pass in and
unzip to show a snippet of flesh
or bikini! The fitting is loose and
oversized yet looks superb with
its flowing side structure and
showy v-neckline. This dress is
easy to accessorise with and
is a first class choice. Consider
matching it with a pair high tops
to rock that extra little bit of
attitude…
The baby pink Volcom dress
(inset above) is soft and subtle
however the studded detail on
this dress makes it a standout
piece. The dress has a flattering
fit which gives a great shape
to the body with a pretty scoop
neck. The dress is 100% cotton
and is comfortable and easy to wear
throughout the long festival days. The
best feature of the dress is the back...
with delicate fastening showing a peak of
flesh makes this a really cute dress that
will get you noticed when dancing in the
crowds. Accessorise this dress with bright
pink Havaianas and an oversized summer
bag and sunnies to perfect this festival look!
If you aren’t feeling any of these dresses,
how about an unusual short little playsuit
from Iron Fist? This little beauty is a real
eyecatcher and will look special throughout
the season! Its funky pattern of graphic
mermaids and sailor anchors gives an
alternative nautical vibe which really stands out
- and with cute little pockets and pulled in waist
this playsuit is definitely a special buy.
