What makes the perfect summer dress?

Is it all about a fun, flirty print? Does it absolutely need to show a little leg? Is it all about the maxi? Or is it all of the above?

From flowy, flouncing silhouettes, to floral prints and chic maxi moments, we’ve scoured the internets so you could have whatever you like!
