Vivienne Floral-Print Silk Maxi Dress

We can't be alone in noting the influx of covetable brands from Australia; the latest is Sydney-based SIR., which stands out from the crowd with its exemplary fabrics and air of quiet refinement. If you're new to the label, the Vivienne dress is a good place to start. Spun from pure silk, it's strapless and fitted at the waist before falling to a long A-line skirt, all splashed with muted florals. We can't help but sea it on a shoreline somewhere.
