Find your perfect fit
Our fishing shirt dresses are designed to sit neatly through the bust and hips when buttoned, while still offering a comfortable, flattering fit through the body.
Length options:
High-rider (short) A shorter, sportier fit.
Mid-rider (longer) Designed for extra length and coverage (approx. 5cm longer than the high-rider).
Sizing tip: For the best fit, your body measurements should be equal to or slightly smaller than the measurements listed. If you are more than 2cm over, we recommend sizing up for comfort through the bust and hips.

Great design and great quality
Sandra –
I love this new colour. It’s not pink or lilac. Such a stunning vibe to add to my menay dresses. Thanks Team for your scrunchies and personal note, was not expecting that.

Pauline (verified owner) –
Sensational! The fit is perfect and I LOVE the colour. I am 5′ 6″, 54kgs and bought a small in the longer length; fits great. Fantastic attention to detail, secure and discrete side pocket with zip; back vent to keep you cool; tabs to keep sleeves rolled up. Speedy delivery and excellent packaging. My go-to, sun safe beach dress for the summer. Love the feel of the fabric. The blue sand-free beach towel is also great. Super absorbent and one shake and the sand is gone. Well done Danielle & team Northern Tide!
