Cassia Puff-Sleeved Cotton-Lace Mini Dress

Zimmermann's AW21 collection was a delightfully retro fantasy of the '70s, but the Sydney-based label still found time for its trademark designs, i.e. romantic shapes with generous lashings of lace. Woven entirely from the delicate fabric, the Cassia dress is a classic example, taking its cues from Victoriana with puffed sleeves and buttons along its flared silhouette. In a nod to the label's beachside origins, it's cinched in at the waist with a braided rope belt.

• 100% cotton

Founded by sisters Nicky and Simone, Zimmermann's sophisticated femininity, bold colour combinations and original prints have made them dream holiday wishlist material. Ruffled dresses, tiered skirts and glamourous beachwear are the cornerstones of this Australian brand's resort-ready collections.
