Summer in Ontario is known for being hot and humid and after last year (with no A/C at the lake) I vowed to be ready for it this time. Cue my scorching summer essential, dresses!

So what are the key elements of a dream summer dress for me?

1 / Light and breezy
2 / Bra optional*
3 / Long length
4 / Elevated ease

This ivory beauty checks all the boxes and it’s even more beautiful in person. Plus, it’s fully lined and has pockets! See it in black in my latest Reel here.

*I realize that going sans bra is not a preference or an option for everyone, but I recently gave these a try and I’m a total convert!
