When I booked my recent winter sun getaway to the Maldives, I promised myself I’d pack light. After all, there’s no need for overstuffed suitcases when your itinerary mostly revolves around sunbathing. That’s when I came across the Nobody’s Child White Flossie Midi Dress, currently half price at £42.50 now . As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the one —a versatile, flattering piece I could wear on repeat without feeling like I was recycling the same look every day. Spoiler alert: I was right.
This dress quickly became the star of my holiday wardrobe. Whether I was heading to breakfast, lounging by the pool or enjoying a sunset dinner, it adapted to every occasion. Best of all, it earned me a steady stream of compliments from other holiday-goers. So, here’s how I styled it three ways and why I’m officially obsessed.
The dress that does it all
The Flossie Midi Dress is a total dream. Made from organic cotton, it’s breathable and lightweight—perfect for tropical heat. The midi length gives it a chic, elegant vibe, while the subtle puff sleeves and tiered skirt add just the right touch of romance. It’s one of those rare pieces that’s comfortable and stylish, so you can wear it all day without feeling restricted.
Another thing I love? The broderie anglaise detailing. It gives the dress a timeless, feminine feel while still looking modern. Plus, the clean white colour pairs effortlessly with pretty much anything. From bold jewellery to neutral sandals, it’s a blank canvas for your creativity.

For breakfast: I started my mornings with this dress paired with simple tan slides and a wide-brimmed straw hat. Add a dainty gold necklace, and you’ve got an effortlessly breezy breakfast look.
Around the pool: For a laid-back pool day, I layered the dress over my swimsuit, leaving the buttons slightly undone for a relaxed vibe. I styled it with oversized sunnies and a woven tote bag.
For dinners: As the sun set, I dressed up the Flossie with kitten heels and statement gold earrings and bangles. The crisp white fabric popped beautifully against my post-beach glow, and the flowy silhouette felt comfortable and glam for dinner by the ocean.
If you’re looking for a dress that can do it all, the Nobody’s Child Flossie Midi Dress is a must-have. Trust me, it’s the ultimate packing hack for any warm-weather trip. Whether you’re strolling through resort gardens or heading to a beachside cocktail bar, this dress will make you feel fabulous. You can grab your own and start styling it your way—just be prepared for the compliments to roll in.
However, if your size is out of stock or you're looking for another versatile white dress option for your own warm-weather winter getaway, I also love New Look's utility belted shirt midi dress, £37 here on Asos , and Roman's Ivory Cotton Embroidered Smock Dress, currently on sale for £30 here.
