Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Dress

Sun-safe style with a purpose.

Meet the limited-edition Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Dress, featuring a classic block navy design with a special barramundi graphic incorporating the brain cancer ribbon on the back.

Designed specifically for women, the UV Defender Dress brings the same unique, lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric as our original UV Defender Onesie into a flattering, easy-to-wear style made for summer.

With adjustable coverage, added neck protection, thumb holes and a breathable mesh back, it’s designed to keep you comfortable while giving you the coverage you want, wherever the day takes you.

100% of net profits from the Barras for Brain Cancer collection will be donated to the Mark Hughes Foundation.

Created in memory of Gregory Fetterplace, this limited-edition collection brings together family, the outdoors and a cause that means so much to us.

Every purchase helps us support the Mark Hughes Foundation in the fight against brain cancer, while keeping Greg's memory at the heart of something positive.

Launching 1 December 2026, the first day of summer.

The Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Dress won't be available until 1 December, but you can join the waitlist now to be notified as soon as it lands. Join the Little Fisho Crew for exclusive early access before the collection is released to everyone else.

Made from lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric, the UV Defender Dress is designed to keep you comfortable through warm summer days. Wear it over your swimwear at the beach, for outdoor adventures, on holidays or simply as an easy everyday summer dress.

A sun-safe dress made for real life

The UV Defender Dress is designed for women who want comfortable coverage without feeling like they've sacrificed style.

The flattering fit makes it easy to in everyday life, while the lightweight fabric and practical features make it versatile enough for life in and out of the water.

From beach days to sunset cocktails, the golf course to happy hour, the boat to the pub and everywhere in between, it's a dress designed to go wherever the day takes you.

Lightweight enough for hot summer days and quick-drying enough for life around the water, the UV Defender Dress combines coverage with practical details designed for real life.

• Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric
• Same unique fabric as the Little Fisho UV Defender Onesie
• Flattering fit designed specifically for women

A dress made to move with you

The long front zip gives you the flexibility to adjust your coverage throughout the day, whether you want a more open neckline or added coverage when you're spending time in the sun.

The zip also makes the dress breastfeeding friendly, while the thumb holes give you the option of extending coverage over your hands when you want it.

It's practical where it needs to be, flattering where it matters and versatile enough to wear beyond the beach or boat.

A subtle design with a meaningful story

The Barras for Brain Cancer adult styles were designed to complement the bolder checkered print used across the baby and kids' styles.

The dress features a classic block navy base with the signature barramundi and brain cancer ribbon graphic on the back. It matches with the rest of the family collection without everyone needing to wear exactly the same print.

The barramundi is an iconic Australian fish and a natural fit for Little Fisho, while the ribbon represents the reason behind this collection.

It's a design created in memory of Greg and to help raise funds for the Mark Hughes Foundation.

A limited first edition

Barras for Brain Cancer is a trial campaign, with very limited stock available for this first release.

Once this first release is gone, it's gone.

If the campaign is successful, our hope is to make Barras for Brain Cancer an annual fundraising campaign for the Mark Hughes Foundation - the summer version of Beanies for Brain Cancer.

Every purchase helps us test the idea, raise funds and build the foundations for what we hope can become an annual Little Fisho tradition in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation.

Matching sun-safe style for the whole family

The Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Dress is part of a limited-edition matching family collection designed to bring everyone along for the adventure.

The collection includes:

• UV Defender Onesie for babies and toddlers, featuring the navy and cream checkered barra print
• UV Defender Kids Set for toddlers and young kids, featuring the matching checkered print
• UV Defender Shirt for older kids, available in sizes 10 to 16
• UV Defender Shirt for adults, available in sizes S to 3XL
• UV Defender Dress for women, featuring the block navy design and back graphic

The different designs are made to coordinate rather than match exactly, giving the whole family a subtle connection to the Barras for Brain Cancer campaign.

Whether you're matching the family for a beach day or wearing your UV Defender Dress on its own, it's sun-safe style designed to go wherever the day takes you.
