Passionate fashion enthusiasts helping Australian women discover their perfect summer style since 2021.
What started as a simple passion project between friends who loved summer fashion has grown into Australia's most trusted resource for sundress advice. We believe every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful in her summer wardrobe, and we're here to make that journey easier.
Best Sundress Australia was born from countless conversations about the challenges of finding the perfect summer dress. As Australian women ourselves, we understood the frustration of scrolling through endless online options, unsure which fabrics would withstand our harsh UV rays, which silhouettes would flatter our figures, and which brands actually delivered on their promises of quality and comfort.
Our team spent years working in the Australian fashion industry, from boutique retail floors in Sydney's Paddington to fashion buying offices in Melbourne. We've attended countless trade shows, touched thousands of garments, and learned firsthand what separates a dress that makes you feel amazing from one that ends up forgotten at the back of your wardrobe. This experience taught us that finding the right sundress isn't just about aesthetics—it's about understanding fabric weight, construction quality, and how a dress performs in real Australian conditions.
We recognised that most fashion advice online was written for Northern Hemisphere climates and lifestyles. Australian summers are unique—we deal with intense UV exposure that demands thoughtful sun protection, humidity that can make the wrong fabric unbearable, and a lifestyle that seamlessly blends beach mornings with café lunches and evening barbecues. Our sundress needs to work harder than most.
That's why we created Best Sundress Australia. Every piece of advice on our site is written with the Australian woman in mind. We consider factors like UPF ratings, breathability in high humidity, how fabrics hold up to salt water and chlorine, and whether a dress can take you from Bondi Beach to a rooftop bar without a complete outfit change. We test products ourselves, read thousands of customer reviews, and consult with fabric experts to bring you recommendations you can trust.
Our philosophy is simple: we believe in helping, not selling. While we do earn a small commission when you purchase through our Amazon links, our primary goal is to provide genuinely useful information that helps you make better choices. We'll always tell you when a cheaper option performs just as well as an expensive one, and we'll never recommend something we wouldn't wear ourselves.
Beyond product recommendations, we're committed to educating our readers about sustainable fashion choices, proper garment care, and building a versatile wardrobe that doesn't require constant replacements. We believe that buying fewer, better-quality pieces is both better for your wallet and better for our planet. Our guides on fabric care and wardrobe building reflect this ethos.
Thank you for being part of our community. Whether you're searching for your first sundress or your fiftieth, we're honoured to be part of your style journey. Here's to sunny days and the perfect dress to enjoy them in.
The principles that guide everything we do
We only recommend products we've thoroughly researched and would wear ourselves. No paid placements, no compromising our integrity for commissions.
Every recommendation considers our unique climate, lifestyle, and UV conditions. What works in London won't necessarily work in Brisbane.
We prioritise quality over quantity and help you build a wardrobe that lasts. Better for your wallet, better for the planet.
Beautiful sundresses exist for every body type. We celebrate diversity and provide advice that's inclusive and empowering.
