Finding the perfect summer party dress is no easy feat, but it seems that this time TikTok has done the work for us because we have not been able to escape this viral dress.
Spotted on Aussie influencers like Sopha Doph and Isabelle Mathers (to name a few), the party-perfect maxi dress has been a quick-seller from Sydney-based label Peppermayo and, lucky for you, has just restocked – hurray!
The elegant yet edgy maxi dress has been lauded for its flattering silhouette, with a deep, descending cowl neckline and open back, it sits right on the waist or hips to elongate the body and hug your curves.
Best of all is its versatility, you can adjust the spaghetti straps to suit your needs (a win for the girlies with long or short torsos) and it falls right down to the toes.

Tips for finding the perfect summer maxi dress
As much as we love a maxi dress, finding the perfect one that makes you feel comfortable yet still speaks to your sense of style is a huge task – but one that is certainly worth it!
Especially in the scorching heat of Aussie summers, lightweight fabrics are your best friend. There is nothing worse than feeling weighed down by fabric once the mercury starts to soar and the whole point of a maxi dress is to feel free and flowing.
If you’re all about less is more, opt for something with plunging necklines or high slits to feel truly summer-ready. However, if you prefer a bit of coverage, look for something that sits higher on the waist and hugs your curves, it may not seem like much but sometimes just that little extra fabric makes you feel way more confident.
How to style a maxi dress in summer
The amazing thing about a maxi dress is its versatility.
For an easy-breezy everyday look this summer, pair with your favourite strappy sandals and a basket tote. Accessorise with delicate jewellery and your biggest sunglasses to nail the model-off-duty look.
Wanna take it up a notch and go for something eye-catching for a night out at your favourite beachside bar? A pair of delicate strappy heels and ample jewellery will complete the look. You could go boho-chic with some chunky bracelets and oversized hoops or keep it simple and dainty with elegant statement earrings and stacked necklaces.
