Introducing the Melbourne black cotton beach dress by Lindsey Brown resort wear, a beautifully flattering plus-size beach dress designed for effortless holiday elegance. Crafted from our signature soft crinkle cotton, Melbourne is a dream to wear in warm weather. Lightweight, cool, and breathable, this black dress combines comfort with sophisticated style, making it a perfect addition to your holiday wardrobe. The Melbourne dress is thoughtfully designed to enhance and flatter the figure. Its silhouette draws inspiration from two of our bestselling beach dresses, the softly tiered skirts of our Provence beach dress that you may already have and the comfortable, gently draped sleeves of our Broadway style. The result is a wonderfully balanced beach dress that looks stunning on all body shapes, especially in plus sizes. The loose and airy fit creates a beautiful flow as you walk, giving the dress an elegant movement that feels relaxed yet refined.
One of the standout features of the Melbourne dress is its delicate embellishment. The ruffled V-neckline is adorned with shimmering gold sequins and gold embroidery, adding a touch of understated glamour suitable for daytime wear or dressing up for evening holiday dinners. The embellishment continues around the back of the neckline, ensuring you look beautifully polished from every angle. The gold detail contrasts perfectly with the deep black cotton, creating a chic and timeless colour combination that suits every skin tone.
The tiered lower skirt is soft, floaty, and feminine, cut to skim the body without clinging. This design creates a naturally flattering shape while keeping you cool in hot climates. The sleeves are gently ruffled and lightly structured to add upper-body balance without adding bulk, making them ideal for those who prefer light arm coverage. These subtle design elements work together to create a dress that boosts confidence while staying comfortable throughout the day.
Melbourne is designed to be worn loose and flared. If you are between sizes, we recommend selecting a size down for the best fit, as the style offers generous room through the bust, waist, and hips. While this version celebrates chic plus-size dressing, the Melbourne dress is also available in smaller sizes. You can explore our full size range of black beach dresses from xsmall to xlarge in our vacation dresses in black cotton collection, offering the same stunning silhouette for all body shapes.
