Great design and great quality

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.

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!
