Ladies yellow dresses in lemon and sunny floral prints

A friend’s wedding in July, open back and all

The lemon sateen midi is the dressiest one. It’s fitted through the waist and flares out below. Up top you get a V-neck and tiny flutter sleeves, and the fabric has a soft sheen that loves daylight. The real surprise is at the back, which is open. Pin your hair up so people actually see it, and pick a bra without a back clasp.

Lemon goes with white, cream and gold. Thin-strap sandals and an ivory clutch, and a short white jacket if the evening turns cool. That’s a yellow dress for a garden wedding, a terrace dinner or a photo shoot.

Prefer a shorter hem? Same lemon shade, this time with white polka dots, in a fabric with a light sheen and a skirt that stops near the knee. It’s actually the shorter sister of the open-back midi, so pick it for a busy day and save the long one for the party. White heeled sandals for a date. Ballet flats or white sneakers for a day in town. More spotted prints are on our dots page.

Flowers on yellow, from a ruffled midi to a wrap mini

If your closet is mostly dark, the short floral one wakes it up fast. We sewed it in satin with a little elastane (2 %), a round neck and short sleeves, and it’s smooth against your skin. Nude sandals at a party. Sneakers on a walk.

The sleeveless midi has ruffles at the waist and a V-neck. When you dance, the hem moves, and you’ll see it on video. With a tan it looks great, honestly. Wear a denim jacket over your shoulders and a straw hat during the day.

Then the wrap mini, with a ruffled collar and short tie sleeves you can loosen or tighten. The flared skirt skims the hips. Wear it with white sandals and a basket bag on vacation. Gold earrings are enough on any yellow dress with a print, since the flowers already do a lot. Other bloom prints sit on our flower print page.

Frequently asked questions

When can I order these?

They’re all summer pieces, so they’re off the site in the cold months and come back once it warms up. Meanwhile, browse our warm-weather dresses to plan ahead.

Which measurement matters for the fitted ones?

Go by your waist. That’s where they sit closest. We make them XS to XL.

What colors go with yellow?

White, brown and denim are the easy ones, and for jewelry we’d always choose gold over silver with this shade, whether it’s a pair of small hoops or a thin chain bracelet on your wrist.

How should I iron satin?

Turn it inside out first and keep the iron warm, not hot. A steamer’s fine too. Dry it smoothed out, out of direct sun.
