The Graceful, Throw-On Dress People in London and New York Swear By on the Hottest Days
Dôen's Ischia Dress has been a favourite amongst stylish people for years. Below, we explore why this pretty piece is a favourite each summer.
There's no denying the power of a great dress. Throw it on, add some sandals and grab you're favourite basket bag—you can be out the door in a polished look in a matter of minutes (something that a considered layered look could only dream of). But first, we have to find that elusive perfect dress that can rise to the challenge. Right now, there's a plethora of new-in styles hitting the digital shelves, but if you want a shopping editor's opinion, there's one that has proven over the last few years to be timeless, easy and elegant. Enter, Dôen's Ischia dress.
Flattering, comfortable, high quality, pretty—the list goes on. Since its release in 2021, the best-selling Ischia dress has sat in pride of place in some of the chicest wardrobes around, primed for sunny days.
With each summer, we see the return of pretty dresses to our wardrobes, and with the benefit of time, I can definitively conclude that the Ischia dress is designed to withstand the moving trends. Alongside its timeless appeal, it's a dress that you'll enjoy wearing. time and again. Whilst a form-fitting mini has its moment, the easy midi silhouette of the Ischia naturally translates from day to night, wafting through the warmest days with you. The shirred bodice hugs your body with adjustable waist ties for the perfect fit, flowing into a soft a-line silhouette. At the neckline, you'll notice petite ruffles bringing that pretty edge and vintage-inspired feel, as well as another bow to adjust the neckline as preferred. To fully embrace the romantic feel, double puffed sleeves finish the dress.
With a lightweight organic cotton and viscose blend, this dress can be relied upon even on the warmest days. Currently, the dress is available in multiple colourways and prints, including classic neutrals and trending gingham. Our fellow editor, Emily Dawes, tried on five of Dôen's most beloved dresses in the name of research and noted she took the size small (she usually wears a size 8-10), which fit well and could even have sized down thanks to the smocked and adjustable tie details around the neckline and waist.
