Famara, a name that was inspired by the founder’s home in the Canary Islands where the spectacular Famara Beach sits in Lanzarote, creates individual golf and fitness clothing using unique artwork, including this frill hem dress in Anemone., which is also available in four other vibrant colorways.

Anemone is a really rich print with splashes of deep red, purple, green and white, so it’s certainly eye-catching and for that reason alone features in some of the best women's golf clothes. I’m not usually drawn to such a bold print, or frills, but I couldn’t help but feel good in this dress, feeling very feminine, largely due to the frill hem.

The fabric is soft and stretchy, and it feels very generous, not at all clingy. If anything, I would say size down for the most flattering fit. It falls elegantly from the shoulders and over the body, it’s not overly fitted at the waist.

If you prefer a slightly longer length than some of the other dresses, best women's skorts and best women's shorts on the market, then this dress is ideal, and its length also means that it can easily be worn from the course to casual with a pair of heels!

I particularly like the classic collar and zipped placket, which highlights the attention to detail in the making of this dress, as it’s nicely finished with neat stitching and a sleek zip puller. There’s also a discrete zipped pocket on each side, which I found handy for golf essentials.

Comfort-wise, as it’s roomy, it allowed unrestricted movement and I still felt cool and fresh after 18 holes. The detachable undershorts are in the same print, and these stayed firmly in place without any need to adjust.

All in all, if you want to make a bold statement, embrace your femininity and play in comfort, this dress is worth considering.
