This $105 Maxi Dress from Nordstrom Is the Ultimate Packing Staple for Spring Travel

There’s nothing quite like slipping into a flowy dress when the weather finally warms up. Nordstrom just introduced a new arrival that’s already turning heads: the Sugarlips Vesper Sunfire Maxi Dress in a bold poppy red and pink print with delicate ruffle sleeves. It’s the kind of piece that practically begs for a beachside dinner or a sunset stroll—and we wouldn’t blame you if you booked a trip just to wear it.

Made from 100 percent cotton poplin, this maxi is lightweight and breathable, even when the humidity hits. Whether you’re lounging at a tropical resort or meeting a friend for brunch, you’ll stay cool and comfortable without sacrificing style.

The dress features a flattering V-neckline paired with a smocked bodice that gently hugs your curves. A tiered skirt and ruffled cap sleeves add texture and movement, making it feel airy and effortless. If the red-and-pink combo isn’t your thing, don’t worry—it’s also available in four other bright multicolor patterns, plus a classic blue-and-white stripe that works with almost any wardrobe. Honestly, we’d grab a couple of colors and rotate them all vacation long.

Style it with sandals or espadrilles, and you’ve got an outfit that looks far more expensive than its $105 price tag. Available now at Nordstrom. Prices are accurate as of publication but may change.
