Our lightweight cotton beach dress brings relaxed vibes to any occasion while keeping you stylish, cool and comfy.

  • Super relaxed fit
  • Two practical hip pockets
  • Subtle dot embroidery on the neckline and hemline
  • Fabric belt can be either tied up or left open (or taken off)
  • Gentle on your skin (and the planet) due to our low-impact dyes
  • Superior stitching to ensure years of wear
  • Designed in Australia
  • Ethically made in Nepal

Head straight from the beach to balmy Summer evenings out in our new Aurora dress. With a loose, comfortable fit and two side pockets (!), you will reach for this dress time and time again. The cotton fabric softens beautifully after washing, and the small 'dot' embroidered detail on the neckline and the hem is our Surya point of difference on a classic design.

100% woven cotton

How To Wash
  • Wash separately (or with other like colours), as your piece will bleed a little colour in the beginning. 
  • Wash only in cold water. Warm or hot washes will make your piece bleed more colour.
  • Dry only in the shade. Direct sunlight will fade your piece.
  • Ironing is not necessary, simply hang your piece correctly when drying.

Sizing: Perfect
this dress is light and lovely

I gasped when I took this dress out of the parcel because it was exactly what I'd been looking for. Very light fabric, cool and loose fit, nice neckline, not to baggy, and a beautiful soft colour that will suit everyone's completion. The little touches of detail around the neckline make it even nicer. Love this, back to buy another one in a different colour.

🤷‍♀️

It’s too long it looks like a maxi dress on me. I forgot to measure the length. Other than that it is very good. I live in qld where I cotton clothes because of the humidity. Do you make shorts and singlets tops?

Super comfy and we'll made. Nice soft fabric and light enough for hot humid climates. And most importantly it has pockets!

Cool and comfy

Great on a hot summer day. Lovely design around the shoulders. I got the grey colours and it's not too see-through. I've had a few comments on it.
