A little help with fit

Fit and stretch vary by style. Check the product details and compare your measurements before choosing.

Color
Size
This breezy cotton dress is a summertime favourite, loved especially for its flattering fit and thoughtful design. The short sleeves offer just the right amount of arm coverage, while the round front neckline keeps things classic. Turn around and you'll find a subtle V-back with criss-cross straps—adding a touch of coastal charm without compromising comfort. Made from soft pure cotton, the fabric skims the body without clinging, so you'll feel confident, cool, and effortlessly stylish, no matter the heat.

DETAILS

  • FIT : This dress is a more slim-line fitted dress, so it is hugs the hips more. It is super flattering.  Remember this fabric does not cling to your body (even when you sweat). If you have curvier hips you may find that the size recommender tells you to go up to a bigger size, which then may be too big in the bust. For curvier women, we suggest you choose one of our more A-line fitting dresses which has ample space built in for hips.

  • WEIGHT : Medium weight not see-through

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 7 reviews.

Tried it on and is just the right size. However, I must wait until the weather warms up where I live before I can wear it. I'm getting myself sorted for summer. I'll be wearing all my West Indies Wear soon! I love all the prints and styles. I have skirts, tops, beach pants, dresses. Love them all. Kim you are brilliant at what you do. Thank you for bringing us girls such fabulous and cool clothes. ❤️ Lee from Perth.

Customer photo review of Shell Cotton Short Sleeve Dress

Love this dress! It's easy to wear, doesn't crush even after days in a suitcase, and it's very cool to wear in very humid Fiji. I will be ordering more soon.
