Flowers were blooming all over S/S 09 catwalks. From muted, grunge-worthy florals on stylish hipster chicks to bright and exotic maxi and tulip dresses, flower power is at its fullest this season. That’s why the Casino Dress by Sunner is essential for any fashionista’s summer wardrobe.
Sunner is a relative newbie on the fashion scene. Founded by Aussie export Susan Denner Lee and partner Simon Lee, the highly-wearable collection mixes in elements of vintage, feminine, and surf nuances. The Casino Dress is a fine balance between vintage whimsy and modern design aesthetic. The A-line cut mini features a wide neckline and puffed elbow-length sleeves. The swirling blue, purple, and gold florals make for a decidedly retro feel, while the industrial-style zipper up the back brings a surprisingly modern twist.
The great thing about a dress like this is that it looks great on just about every figure, and the dress itself will outlast seasonal trends. While you might opt to pair the dress with a pair of gladiator sandals or studded, rock-inspired wedges at the moment, you’ll be able to take the dress into fall/winter with a pair of black or grey tights thrown underneath and boots. For an of-the-moment stying tip: Pair the dress with a black boyfriend blazer with the sleeves rolled up or a bold, tribal statement necklace!
On sale from $312 to $218 at both ShopBop and Revolve, there is no excuse not to cop this floral masterpiece!
