Nobody's doing summer dressing quite as well as Rixo right now. Its brilliant collaboration with Dragon Diffusion has been responsible for summer's most exciting handbags, and its vintage-inspired dresses have a pretty extensive celebrity fan club that includes Kate Middleton, Olivia Rodrigo and Sofia Richie. So it's safe to say that we've been fans of the British label for a while now. And just when we thought we couldn't love the label anymore, along came the dress of the season: the Edina.
Classic yet timeless, the Edina has all the makings of a classic white summer dress – from its breathable cotton construction to its breezy ankle-skimming length. So what makes it special? The vintage Rixo touch, of course. Inspired by the brand's cult-favourite Ellery blouse, the maxi dress features a similar classic V-neckline trimmed with an oversized lace collar, evoking Prairie dress comparisons in the best way possible. Add to that a flattering ruffled hem and puffed sleeves, and you've got a dress that looks instantly polished and easy to wear. Little surprise, then, that our favourite influencers have been wearing the dress on repeat lately.

Delicate, vintage-inspired and fashion editor-approved, this pretty white maxi will see you through everything from garden parties and race days to beachside dinners on holiday with ease.
Then there's the details – from the intricate lace panels and delicate floral embroidery down the front to the micro pleats that subtly sculpt your shape – that make the Edina anything but basic. As with every other dress in Rixo's archives, the Edina has been designed to flatter across body types. If, like me, you're under 5'3" and find yourself tripping over most maxis, the Edina dress is available in a shorter length specifically for petites, while the adjustable waist tie helps adjust the shape to be as loose or fitted as you prefer.
As wearable as it is appealing, the Edina dress is a moment in itself, which means styling it is as easy as it gets. Wear it with dainty Mary Janes and a straw bag for an unmistakably elegant weekend look or throw it on with wedge heels and some sleek sunglasses for a garden party or even a day at Wimbledon.
The vintage-inspired dress could just as easily belong in one of your mum's old Kodak moments as it will on your Instagram grid. So naturally, it sold out fast after its initial release. Now that it's finally been restocked, we'd advise against hesitation. Whether you plan on twirling through Europe in the pretty white maxi or donning one for any upcoming event on your social calendar, Rixo's Edina dress isn't one you'd want to miss out on.
