Introducing the white cotton beach dress we call Melbourne, a soft crinkle cotton beach dress by Lindsey Brown cotton resort wear. Our beach dresses are beautifully crafted holiday dress designed for warm sunshine destinations and effortless summer style. This short sleeve tiered dress combines a flattering silhouette, luxurious embellishment, and soft breathable cotton to create a timeless resort wear piece you’ll reach for again. The Melbourne dress is inspired by two of Lindsey Brown’s most-loved signature shapes. The floaty tiered skirt takes its influence from our iconic Provence dress, known for its graceful movement and feminine volume. The sleeves draw inspiration from our elegant Broadway design, offering a cool, lightly structured shape that provides comfortable coverage without feeling heavy. Together, these elements create a beautifully balanced holiday dress that suits a wide range of body shapes and is exceptionally comfortable to wear in warm climates.
A standout feature of the white cotton Melbourne beach dress is its exquisite embellishment. The gently ruffled V-neckline is hand-decorated with shimmering gold sequins and delicate gold embroidery, adding a subtle touch of glamour perfect for beach days, poolside lunches, or balmy evening dinners. The embellishment continues around the back of the neckline, ensuring the dress looks polished and luxurious from every angle. Gold embroidery along the neckline ruffles and the soft sleeves draws the eye upward, enhancing the natural lines of the dress and adding brightness that complements the crisp white cotton beautifully.
The body of the dress is made from our signature soft crinkle cotton, chosen for its lightweight, breathable, and cooling qualities. This fabric allows the Melbourne dress to float effortlessly with movement, creating a relaxed yet flattering shape that never clings to the body. On hot days, the airy silhouette keeps you feeling fresh and comfortable while still looking chic and elegant. One of the joys of the Melbourne design is its versatility. Wear it loose for a breezy, easy-going holiday look, perfect for slipping on over swimwear or wandering around a beachside town. Alternatively, use the matching belt to gently define the waist and create a more fitted silhouette for evening dinners or resort cocktails. This adaptability makes Melbourne a wonderful packing choice, taking you seamlessly from day to night with minimal effort.
