Three Sunfere Spring Dresses, Three Different Moods

Dresses Caroline 5 min
The key takeaway: three Sunfere dresses, a brand I didn’t know and that won me over, for three completely different moods. A maxi in light cotton that catches the light, somewhere between a beach dress and a chic dinner dress. A floral, frilly maxi, perfect for a wedding or a ceremony. And a flared mini, more sensual, for a first date. Three moods, three silhouettes, and the same taste for elegance without ever tipping into vulgarity.

There are brands you stumble upon almost by chance, somewhere on the internet, that end up surprising you. Sunfere, I didn’t know it, I was won over by the models on the site, and I have to say that on trying them, the charm worked. I received three dresses, and the fun part is that they look nothing alike, three states of mind, three moods, three ways of being a woman depending on the day and the urge. Let’s try them on together, and you’ll tell me which one speaks to you most.

The cotton maxi, between beach and chic dinner

Let’s start with the most versatile one, a long cotton dress, that blend I love so much between the slightly casual sack dress and the dress you put on to go out to dinner.

The detail of the flowers and the buttons

What I adore here are those lovely flower petals at the top, with a big button in the centre, and that row of buttons running prettily down the middle. The neckline is feminine, fresh, sensual without anything vulgar, and you know that’s exactly the line I keep. One hundred percent cotton, so very pleasant and light to wear, perhaps a touch long for my height, to take up with a hem or to make up for with high heels.

The little practical tip

An honest remark, in full light, the dress can turn out a little sheer, so I’d advise you to slip light-coloured underwear underneath, and above all not a flashy colour like I had the misfortune of doing that day. The back closes with a ribbon that meets on the side and gapes delicately. I approve of it entirely.

The floral maxi, the ceremony spirit

We change register completely with this second dress, frillier, more spring-like, more airy.

The frills and the pleated effect

It’s light, flowing, really very pleasant to wear, and it’s exactly the dress I picture for a wedding, a christening, a ceremony. It isn’t discreet, it gets noticed, but it’s so pretty you forgive it everything. A little belt marks the waist, pleated details dress up the bodice, frills adorn the shoulders, and that bow effect tied with a fine string charms me a great deal.

For which occasion. A flowing floral dress like this one works for an event where you want to be noticed without overdoing it, a summer ceremony, a slightly special date. The rule, own it fully and keep the rest understated.

The flared mini, the most sensual

And we finish with a whole other style, a whole other mood, a short dress that embodies elegance and sensuality at once.

The cut that shapes the silhouette

We’re onto something much more sensual, ideal for a first romantic date, a chic evening out. Be careful though not to make it vulgar, and that’s where the whole game lies. The cut is slightly flared on the sides, which prettily shapes the waist and the silhouette, the fabric is soft and very pleasant, and two little purely decorative pockets underline the line.

How I’d accessorise it

A dress this expressive doesn’t need much. Either a fine necklace that hangs delicately, or a pair of drop earrings, but never both at once, too much is too much for me. A nice pair of heels, and you’re all set. Staying classy and sensual at the same time, it’s all a matter of balance.

Three dresses, three women

What I love about this try-on is that a single brand can offer three faces as different as these, the casual chic one, the ceremonial one, the seductress. To each her day, to each her mood. The links to the three models are, as always, to be found over on the video, I’ll let you take a look if one of them caught your eye too.

PS. Tell me in the comments, are you more of a frilly ceremony dress or a little sensual dress for a first date… because deep down, the hardest part isn’t wearing them, it’s choosing the day.
