The Blue Sky Guide to Summer Dresses

Summer brings longer days and busy schedules, with weddings and graduations and summer parties.  So there’s a style challenge: how to find a summer dress that carries you through the season with comfort and confidence. We’ll cover everything, from choosing a mother of the bride dress to finding plus size dresses to choosing the best summer dress for summer travel. 

Finding the perfect dress starts with the events on the calendar: a graduation?  A European vacation?  Or a garden wedding?  The best choice might be an easy-wear dress in breathable bamboo, or a linen shift – or maybe you’re drawn to summer dresses with flowers.  Whichever you choose, make it an investment piece that you’ll wear again and again.

Destination Weddings and Beach Wedding Outfits 

Resort celebrations include breezes and sandy beaches. Choose dresses that suit flats and sandals.  Tropical colours are beautiful, or find a print that incorporates the wedding’s colour scheme.  Add a mesh shrug to cover upper arms if wanted, and to create great colour impact. 

For classic summer wedding dresses, check out our Sara dresses, available in 30+ prints.  Sara dresses offer an exceptionally natural, easy to wear shape.  Sizes run from XS to XXXL, so if you’re shopping plus size clothing and plus size dresses Canada, you’ll find a great option.

Fabrics are key to finding comfort in summer wedding guest dresses.  Natural,breathable material lets skin breathe, for all-day ease.  Choose smooth bamboo,  elegant linen bamboo, or cool plant-based rayon. 

Linen is a favourite for summer events, but many people hesitate due to creasing. Enter Blue Sky Clothing Co.’s linen and bamboo blend: a unique combo that unites the ease of bamboo with the cachet of linen – it drapes and moves like linen, but doesn’t need to be ironed.  Just mist your dress with water and hang it to dry – creases fall right out. So, love linen but not the care?  Our Velma dress is a classic shift in modern, easy-care fabric. 

Smooth bamboo fabric is another great choice for travel and for hot weather.  Blue Sky Clothing Co. Offers exceptional fitting for people seeking plus size clothing Canada or elsewhere.  If you’re looking for fabric that moves with you and doesn’t cling, our natural breathable bamboo is ideal. 

Another light breathable summer dress favourite is plant-based rayon, which holds natural dyes beautifully for rich summer colour. Batik is exceptionally timeless; colour and classic patterning stay current and beautiful over years.

Modern and Timeless Style 

Fashion moves constantly, but summer event styles are timeless.  Choose a dress that can take you to several events – one that says summer wedding guest dress Canadaor cruise vacation Mediterranean or evening party in your own town.  Most important of all: find a dress that makes you feel great, that doesn’t fade into the background.  Enjoy the event, and your look!

Blue Sky Clothing Co. designs for every body. If you’re searching for plus size clothing Canada and specifically dresses, keep in mind that we create and manufacture with full equality, from size 2 to size 28.   We love our dresses, and hope you do too.

Underwear Comfort with Summer Dresses Canada 

Canadian summer weather can be hot. For superb comfort, add a pair of Hallie undershorts to your order.  It may seem counterintuitive, but the extra layer actually keeps you cooler:  bamboo is breathable and moisture-wicking, for a cooling effect in the heat. 

Pale colours are safe, soothing and always appropriate.  But consider earth tones like khaki, which pairs well with white or cream, or the batik jewel tones of a Shauna dress topped by a long shrug.  Floral and paisley motifs are timeless; try our Denim Parade print for understated colour.

You may love summer dresses with flowers, so that should be your dress of choice.To make it into an all-purpose event dress, accessorize!  Add a handbag in a key colour; this changes the look from casual into intentional.  Then add a silver-coloured cuff, say, or a few layers of gold-coloured necklaces, and you’re set. 

Whichever direction you choose, we hope you enjoy discovering the beauty of our fabrics and the commitment we feel toward happy, inclusive clothing.
