Every summer needs a brand new dress. Make the most of your summer tan and pedicure with this babydoll dress that is sure to turn heads. The deep V-neck highlights your neckline and décolletage, while the ruffled sleeve

adds a touch of romance. Rosalie can be styled with strappy sandals, heels or sneaekers. If you aren’t really comfortable with a roomy fit

be sure to make the dress a size smaller.

fabric advice Blends that include cotton, poplin or linen have just the right amount of 'body' to give Rosalie that playful volume. If you have more of a flowing dress in mind, select a (silk)satin or a crepe instead – basically any fabric that has a lovely fluid drape.
