Zimmermann brings a retro slant to antique codes with this white Empire midi dress. It's crafted from floral guipure lace with blouson sleeves and is cinched in by the beige raffia belt – note the rickrack trim and 1960s-tinged round buckle. Layer it over the included satin slip and add kitten-heeled sandals for a ladylike tone.
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.
