From Beach to Brunch: 3 Dresses That Do It All

First published on April, 22 at Dress By Vicky

Packing light is chic. Overthinking outfits? Not so much.

At Dress by Vicky, we believe every dress should work as hard as you do—especially when you're doing fabulous things like sipping cocktails poolside or ordering another croissant at a rooftop café.

If you're the kind of woman who wants to go from beach towel to brunch table without a full costume change, these are the dresses you'll want on standby.

Because here's the truth: the best dresses are the ones that adapt with you. Morning swims? Check. Noon aperitifs? Double check. Sunset strolls through cobbled streets? Obviously.

These three versatile heroes from our latest collection are ready to be packed, worn, and loved—no outfit anxiety required.

1. Italian Luxury designer Roses & Violets print 100% cotton midi sundress with bow straps

This dress is a walking good mood. The print? Soft, romantic, and begging for a sun-drenched afternoon. The straps? Bows, playful, and subtly sculpting your shoulders in the best way possible.

Wear it over your swimsuit, slip into flat sandals, and it’s instant "Italian villa guest who always gets the last glass of rosé" energy. Add statement earrings and a bold lip, and suddenly you’re the best-dressed brunch guest and the most comfortable—with zero effort required.

Crafted from breathable 100% cotton, it feels like a soft summer breeze. The midi length keeps it refined for city outings, while the lightweight fabric means you'll stay cool, no matter how high the temperatures climb.

Perfect for garden parties, yacht hopping, or grabbing gelato and pretending you’re not keeping score of how many scoops you've had.

2. Italian Luxury designer Pink Majolica print 100% cotton maxi sundress

Want that "Yes, I woke up looking this polished" vibe? This one’s for you.

The pink majolica print feels lifted straight from a Sicilian tile shop. The lingerie-style bodice looks very chic, and the back smocking flatters every silhouette. It's a dress that handles airport lounges and seaside aperitifs equally well.

The magic lies in the elastic back. It cinches perfectly to create a customized, waist-defining fit that’s flattering on every body. It's the kind of detail that makes a dress look custom, not off-the-rack.

One minute, you're lounging barefoot by the sea. The next? You're at an upscale café, commanding the best table without saying a word.

Wear it with flat espadrilles or white sneakers for daytime adventures, then swap for metallic sandals and a sleek bun for evening cocktails. Effortlessly transformative.

3. Capri print brocade mini dress with polka dots

Looking for something playful but elevated? This mini dress delivers full Mediterranean muse.

The Capri print makes it a statement piece, while the scoop neckline balances the hemline for effortless sophistication. Whether you're walking through cobblestone streets or booking a last-minute dinner by the sea, this dress has "glam on autopilot" energy.

Wear it with oversized sunglasses, flat strappy sandals, and a woven tote, and you’re ready for market strolls, seaside aperitifs, or an impromptu beach club invitation (because you know you’re going to get one).

Pro tip: It also photographs ridiculously well against any colorful doorway, pastel building, or yacht backdrop.

These are the dresses you wear when you want to look expensive, feel incredible, and do the absolute minimum to get there. From carry-on to cocktail hour, they've got you covered.

A smart wardrobe doesn't mean having more. It means having better.

And these pieces? They're ready for anything your summer throws at you—even if it's just another "accidentally" glamorous day at the beach.
