    Summer would not happen without some dramatic and voluminous maxi dresses. This time, the award goes to the thin cotton dresses and straw bags. The Simone Magazine has paired a Clara Dress from Pitusa and the new  for an ultimate long walks by the beach.
    The exaggerate sleeves gives the Greek goddess feel to this look and the cinched waist compliments and shapes out your waist in an alluring silhouette. The maxi skirt is ideal for both the walks on the beach and stepping out in the resort. This beautiful design has another thin layer underneath thus is not see-through. One of the best part is the flow maxi bottom that spins around lightly in the breeze with its super soft cotton comforting your skin. If you are not brave enough wearing this pastel shade, Pitusa also offers it in white.
    Whilst the dress already speaks for itself, we are adding a very minimal and classic straw bag by Polene.
