Classic for a reason, linen dresses are at once timelessly elegant and effortlessly practical, widely considered foundational wardrobe pieces. A natural fibre made from flax plant stems, linen is renowned for its breathable properties, allowing for comfortable year-round wear. Linen yarn can be stronger than cotton, yet may soften as it’s washed and worn, resulting in clean cuts without rigidity. A versatile fabric, types of linen include textured slub or linen blends, ideal for casual dresses, while a smooth batiste made from pure linen can give a more elevated finish.

Will linen dresses shrink in the wash?
Laundering linen dresses according to garment care label information will help maintain the fabric for the best results after wearing and washing. Generally, avoid washing in hot water.

Linen sun dresses can be teamed with flat sandals or slides and a tote bag for relaxed daytime styling, switched with strappy heels and a handbag to take you into the evening.
