Ive included a few midi dresses and petite summer maxi dresses but I did a whole separate edit for petite maxi dresses as Im a girl who likes to shop and to have options or hot summer days
That said, heres what Ive found works beautifully year after year: A length that hits at or just above the knee polished without being restrictive A fabric with some body boucle, ponte, jacquard, or a structured cotton blend holds its shape through a long day Color that feels spring-appropriate pastels, warm neutrals, soft florals, clean white or cream A silhouette that doesnt require Spanx to survive comfort matters on a day youre moving from church to brunch to family photos A layer blazer, cardigan, or duster coat because early spring mornings can still be cool The Modern Easter Bonnet The Modern Easter Bonnet I cant write about Easter dressing without acknowledging the hat
Start with the dress as the focal point, then build out your accessories to complement the vintage aesthetic
Tropical Uniforms The rarely seen tropical white uniform was similar to the Summer White Service uniform, except white knee shorts and knee socks were worn
