Y’all!!!! Your Tuesday is about to get happy! Our Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Resort 2020 Collection is LIVE and exclusively online at Nordstrom (find the entire collection HERE)! I’m humbled beyond belief by this opportunity, and positively bursting with excitement to share this labor of love with you!
I know you’re all anxious to see the pieces, so I’ll get right to it! The Collection consists of 11 different styles, each with several colors and patterns, for a total of 32 versatile pieces. And as always, we were dedicated to color consistency throughout the Collection, making it effortless to mix-and-match countless combinations for all your warm weather getaways (or Spring around the corner)! Just add a swimsuit and sandals, and you’re set.
They are feminine, flattering, and super chic! My hope is that you feel beautiful and confident when wearing them. And remember, the Collection is size-inclusive, and available in regular, petite, and plus sizes. (Shop regular and petite HERE, and plus HERE.)
This Resort 2020 Collection was inspired by the colorful coast of the Italian Riviera, so we named it for favorite Italian spots. Darling friends, I give you the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Resort 2020 Collection!!
Sizing Sidenote: We listened carefully to your feedback from our previous Collections, and am excited to share more bra-friendly pieces, as well as, more options in Plus sizing! I’m also wearing a petite in most skirts and dresses, so our taller girls can get in on the action. On average petite skirts and dresses are 1.5″ – 2″ shorter than regular lengths. Pay close attention to my Fit Tip for each item!
I’m 5’4″ 120 pounds, and wear a 0/XS and 26 jeans. However, I have a long torso, so I usually choose Petites for skirts and dresses for a shorter length. Mama Sugarplum is 5’2″ with an hourglass shape, and wears 2-petite/Small.
DRESSES //
Amalfi Print Maxi Dress
It wouldn’t be a GxHSP Resort Collection without a maxi dress, and the Amalfi Print Maxi Dress is a stunner! Made of the most-amazing rayon challis fabric, it’s super smooth and cool to the touch, with amazing fluid drape. And on top of that, it’s completely breathable, making it perfect for hot, sunny days (or nights!). I love it skimming the ground with flat sandals, or grazing the ankle with wedges. Both lengths are gorgeous and flattering.
We gave it a low v-neck, but kept it bra-friendly, and of course added pockets. It easily dresses up or down, and the flowy skirt makes you feel like a goddess! These prints are my favorites we’ve created to date!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for closer fit and shorter length, but would recommend regular size if you’re over 5’4″. Mama SP in an XS-Petite.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

Ravello Linen Fit-and-Flare Dress
The cutest dress in the most flattering fit-and-flare shape (you know it’s my go-to silhouette!)…the Ravello Linen Dress will be your new favorite this Spring and Summer for parties, showers and even Easter. Made of a soft, but sturdy linen blend, it’s trimmed in a chic contrasting embroidery with the cutest back. And of course pockets!
The skirt is fully-lined and the fabric thick for no show-through or sheerness, and the fabric blend doesn’t easily wrinkle.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but prefer an XS-Petite for a closer fit through the torso and shorter length. Mama SP in an XS. She likes the extra room through the chest and longer length. Size down one if in-between.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

Como Knit Drawstring Dress
Every vacation wardrobe needs an easy, comfy dress, and the Como Knit Dress delivers! Made of our incredible super-soft knit, it’s thick and stretchy and the kind of dress you’ll want to throw on everyday. Wear it with sneakers or sandals, and even over your swimsuit for a sporty little cover-up. It’s adorable and so versatile!
We gave it a split neck and cuffed dropped shoulder, with an elastic drawstring waist for custom fit. And you guessed it…pockets, too!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but prefer an XS-Petite for a shorter length and closer fit. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

Capri Ruffle Neck Romper
We took our super-popular Cavallo Ruffle Neck Dress from the Summer of Color Collection, and turned it into the chicest romper…and I’m obsessed!! The Capri Ruffle Neck Romper has the same gorgeous neckline and stylish bow back as the Cavallo, but now in the comfiest day-to-night romper. The fabric is the same insanely soft and breathable rayon challis we used for the Amalfi Print Maxi Dress, and a wide, smocked waist means it’s extra-comfortable around your middle.
Throw it on with sandals for day or dress it up with wedges for a fun night out. This romper is a true compliment magnet!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but size down if you’re in-between. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, unless you cinch it extra tight, in which case you’ll need a racerback or strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.

TOPS & TEES
Naples Ruffle Top
Now let’s move on to separates…the colors of all of our tops and bottoms are consistent, which means you can mix-and-match them all to your heart’s content! Starting with the Naples Ruffle Top, a gorgeous, flowy top in amazing rayon challis, that can be worn off-the-shoulder, one shoulder, or as traditional sleeves! Mix it up to suit your mood and the occasion!
It’s long enough for tucking, but has a side slit if you prefer to wear it out (so cute with jeans!). Pair it with a matching bottom for a fun set, or break it up for a totally different style.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but would size down one if you’re not busty. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Depending on how you wear it, you’ll likely need a strapless bra. I’m a fan of the NuBra, but Mama Sugarplum prefers this strapless bra.
Pair it: Gorgeous with the Positano Denim Skirt, Portofino Maxi Skirt & Sorrento Pull-On Shorts.

Limone Embroidered Tank
I love the added style of embroidery detail, and the Limone Embroidered Tank combines the fun of embroidery with the comfort of your favorite jersey knit! The top you’ll live in all spring and summer, it flows beautifully, and feels incredible. Plus, the colors are so gorgeous and flattering!
Pair it with our skirts and shorts, or your favorite pair of jeans or cut-offs, and you’ve got the perfect, easy combo. It’s got a slight a-line shape, too, so looks darling worn untucked with skinny pants.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.

Mondello Pocket Tee
I hate to brag, but I’m just going to say it….we made the perfect tee!! The Mondello Pocket Tee is literally the white tee of my dreams, plus it comes in gorgeous colors and a fun stripe! Made of a soft, slub cotton that washes beautifully, it’s not sheer, has a touch of stretch, and the perfect scoop neck to show just enough skin. We gave it a slight drop shoulder and cap sleeve for a flattering and feminine fit. And of course added a pocket!
Plus, it’s long enough to tuck, tie, or wear out!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit
The first item on my Resort Collection wish list was the perfect bodysuit…and the Gibson design and fit team delivered!! The Bosa Scoopneck Bodysuit is not only made of the most incredibly soft and stretchy jersey knit, but it’s completely bra-friendly, and wedgie-free! That’s right, we made sure the fit across the bottom was comfortable and stayed put!
Plus, it’s equal parts sporty and sexy, for an unbelievably flattering fit. Gorgeous on it’s own with flowy skirts and shorts, or layer it under a jean jacket or your favorite blazer. I couldn’t be happier with this piece and instant closet staple!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Completely bra-friendly, I’m a fan of this one, but Mama Sugarplum has a larger chest and prefers this one.

SHORTS & SKIRTS
Sorrento Pull-On Shorts
You can’t have a vacation-ready wardrobe without shorts, and our Sorrento Pull-On Shorts are both chic and easy. They’re a pull-on style with comfortable elastic waist and adjustable drawstring. Of course we added pockets, and since they’re made of my favorite rayon challis fabric, they feel incredible and fit beautifully.
Pair them with a matching top for a fun romper-style set, or keep it casual with our tees. I’ll wear them over a swimsuit for an easy cover-up, too!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS. Mama SP in a small.
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.

Positano Denim Skirt
I could not be more excited to introduce our Positano Denim Skirt! I love denim skirts for spring and summer, and this one fits like a dream, and looks amazing with everything from tees and tanks to bodysuits and ruffle tops!
We gave it a fitted waist so there’s not gaping in the back, and added pockets for a flattering fit from the front or back! Side slits mean easy walking, but without worrying about showing too much (back slits can be a too revealing), and a touch of stretch keeps it comfortable.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite, but the XS fits great, too, with just a bit more length. Mama SP in a small petite.
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great, but I’d choose nude for the white skirt. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.

Portofino Maxi Skirt
And last, but not least, my favorite of the group….the Portofino Maxi Skirt! Made of my favorite rayon challis, it twirls and flows like a dream, while the small ruffle detail and tiers give it shape. It’s an easy pull-on style with elastic waist, but also an operating drawstring for a custom fit.
Pair it with sandals or sneakers for a casual day style, or jazz it up with wedges for night. Add a jean jacket, and you’ve got the perfect travel style! I dare you not to twirl when wearing it!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS-Petite for a long-midi length, but regular XS fits great and grazes the foot. Mama SP in an XS.
Undergarment: Not sheer at all, traditional undies are great. These are pretty much the only ones I wear.

WELL! It’s AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, and SO YOU!!!! Congrats, friend. You’ve absolutely done it again!
You’re the BEST!! And of course it’s all darling on YOU, too! xo. C
Bursting with joy for you and for us! I added the Amalfi print maxi dress in Siena and the Portofino maxi skirt in Leoni to my happy closet this morning!
Great choices! I hope you love them, Sevahn!! xo. C
A beautiful, awesome Collection….my favorite to date! Congratulations!! So MANY mix and match pieces that can actually be worn when you’re NOT of vacation!!
Yes!! I love that it’s so wearable for dad-to-day life, too!! xo. C
This collection is not as trendy or figure flattering as previous ones. This has a very Harold’s 2006 feel to it.
So sorry to hear it’s not your cup of tea, Amanda! We’re so proud of it, and love the chic and timeless feel for years of wear! xo. C
Wow! To all Sugarplum Fairy Goddesses, cast and crew!
xoxo!
By far, your BEST collection yet! I have already added several pieces to my bag and about to check out! I am not generally a “resort wear” type of person but these are beautiful! So versatile and wearable… even for this 53 year old mom!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear it, Sandy! We are so proud of this Collection!!! xo. C
Gorgeous collection! Can’t wait for my shipment to arrive.
Thank you so much, I hope you adore your new pieces! xo. C
Hi Cassie, first time for me to purchase some of your pieces, I liked your previous collections but did not feel like me…On the other hand, I truly love this one! French girls must have their stripes! Lovely pictures and details. Congratulations
I’m so happy to hear it, Margane!! I hope you love it!! xo. C
Did you adjust sizing for this line? Length and width? I mean no disrespect but all the pieces seem bigger on you – longer and less form fitting. Was the sizing adjusted for this collection? I loved all of the last collections so much as a petite girl and now everything appears too big. I am bummed. I already was wearing XS-XXS petite and am afraid I’ll drown in this new collection by how everything is looking on the bloggers. Can you address this? Or am I going crazy? Ha!
Hi Leah!! We designed this collection specifically for resort and warm-weather…so the fabrics and fits are conducive to being comfortable and chic! The sizing is the same as all our Collections, so your usual size will be great! xo. C
Loved everything! Ordered the maxi dress and the romper at 5 am this morning! Good thing I was up early! I went back to think about a few other items and most everything is sold out in petite and regular sizes at 8:30 am! Congratulations! Krista
