Behind the Scenes: The All-Star Dress
From the courts to brunch, the new All-Star Tennis Dress serves up aces all summer long. Inspired by effortless and leisurely summer days and the desire for a wardrobe essential that defies seasons, the dress was designed over the course of 8+ months with the utmost care for quality.
The Inspiration:
The UPF 50+ All-Star dress is everything you need in a versatile transition piece. From tennis and golf to brunch and lounging, this dress was designed for elevated comfort. We used feedback from the community to craft the dress into your new closet staple.
“When it came to designing the All-Star Dress, I knew going into our very first design meeting how I wanted the finished product to look. I never want women to have to compromise between fashionable pieces and sun protection. At Low Ultraviolet™, we bring both to the table for effortless wardrobe staples. ” - Erica, CEO + Founder
The Dress:
The mock-neck collar design can be worn up along the neck for further sun protection or down as a traditional collar. Because we will never compromise on our promise to bring safe + fashionable UPF 50+ sun protection to the market, the v-neck neckline adds an attractive addition to help you look and feel your best without compromising sun safety.
The dress perfectly hides straps and can easily be worn with a normal bra, because who wants to deal with a strapless bra? Plus, did we mention the All-Star Dress has pockets?
Unlike a tennis dress, the All-Star Dress does not have built-in spandex shorts. Why? The feedback received from in-depth polls noted that many prefer to have a dress that is longer or that they can wear with their own spandex, instead of having them built-in. This would allow ease of wear, increased comfort and greater feasibility for on-the-go wear. No worrying about having to take the entire dress off to use the bathroom (ugh!), or having your shorts ride up all day!
The Fabric:
Poly-Spandex
MaxDri moisture management
Super stretch Interlock — that is never see-through
Comfortable compression - that is also buttery soft
UPF 50+ sun protection
The Fit:
As a small company with limited resources, we work overtime to ensure our designs are size-inclusive. For this reason, the All-Star Dress is available in sizes XS-XXL. We completed multiple fit samples and worked with a talented pattern maker who ensured fit was of the utmost quality.
This design is uniquely ours, meaning you will be hard-pressed to find other designs on the market that are made with the same level of care, emphasis on quality and promise to protect.
