The first time I ever really wanted a good beach cover up was on Maui. We’d tool around the island in the car and come across a really cool beach. I’d wish I had my suit on. Or, we’d be on the beach and want to do a quick shave ice run. I’d wish I had street clothes on.

Ululani is meant to be a casual beach-ready dress cover up that can double as street clothes as well. Made in the round from the hem up, short rows create the asymmetrical dip in the hemline. Decreases from the hem to the waist and then increases from the waist to the bust create a body-skimming silhouette. The bust is divided and worked flat for a deep V-neck. Shoulder seaming provides needed structure for the dress.
