Two Looks, One Dress
The Billabong Take a Look Midi Dress is built for the woman who wants options without the extra bag. Constructed from a stretchy ribbed polyester-viscose knit blend, it hugs the body in a sleek bodycon silhouette that hits at midi length. The reversible design is the defining feature: wear the scoop neck front for a clean, casual look, or flip it around to reveal a flirty twisted bodice that transforms the same dress into a completely different outfit.
A metal bar detail at the back neck finishes the twisted side with an intentional, polished touch. Sleeveless cut and lightweight knit fabric make it the natural choice for warm-weather days on the water, at the resort, or heading straight from the beach to dinner.
Reversible Construction and Fit
The 2-way wearability is not a gimmick. The ribbed knit construction holds its shape on both sides, so the twisted bodice drapes cleanly rather than pulling. Bodycon fit means the stretch fabric follows your silhouette rather than adding bulk. The rib texture adds visual interest and also gives the fabric extra recovery, so it returns to shape wear after wear.
Fabric and Construction
The stretchy rib knit is a polyester-viscose blend. Polyester contributes durability and shape retention; viscose adds drape and a soft hand feel that sits comfortably against skin in warm conditions. The knit construction stretches in multiple directions, which is why the bodycon fit works without feeling restrictive. The sleeveless cut keeps the dress breathable, and the mid-length hem hits at a versatile point that works for both casual and dressed-up occasions.
Billabong Women's Apparel
Billabong has been rooted in surf culture since 1973. The women's apparel line carries that beach-first perspective into everyday wearable pieces, designed to move between the ocean and everything that comes after it. The Take a Look Midi Dress is a core example: the kind of piece that works hard on a trip, takes up minimal space in a bag, and looks deliberate regardless of which side faces forward.
