100% Linen Braided-Neck Handkerchief-Hem Midi Dress
A midi dress cut from mediumweight 100% linen, with a braided trim at the round neck and an uneven handkerchief hem that hangs longer at the points. Sleeveless, regular fit, garment-dyed for a soft, worn-in Deep Teal.
The fabric
170gsm 100% linen, garment-dyed. Opaque, no stretch, mediumweight. Linen this weight holds its shape through a day out and softens with washing, so the dress only gets more comfortable over time. Expect the usual linen crease — it's part of the fabric, not a flaw in the make.
The fit
Regular through the body, sleeveless, with light ruching at the neckline that gives the braided trim somewhere to sit. The handkerchief hem drops unevenly rather than sitting level, longer at the front and back points and shorter through the sides, so it moves rather than staying static when you walk.
How to wear it
Wear it loose for the coast, or add sandals and a woven bag for a market day. Because it's sleeveless, a light layer works underneath for cooler mornings. The braided neckline is the detail worth showing off, so keep layering minimal.
- 100% linen, 170gsm, garment-dyed
- Round neck with braided trim, sleeveless
- Ruched detailing, handkerchief hem

Care
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Line dry away from direct sun to protect the garment dye. Warm iron if needed. Linen creases — that's the fabric, not a fault.

Made the long way
Linen is slow to work with. It is cut flat, sewn straight and finished by hand — which is exactly why it lasts more than one summer.
What our customers say
I'm 58 and had honestly given up on dresses. This is the first in years that skims the bits I'm self-conscious about and still feels elegant. Ordered my usual 14 — spot on. I feel like myself again in it.
The fabric was the happy surprise — soft, with a bit of weight, and not the least bit see-through. It looks far more expensive than it cost and drapes exactly like the photos. So glad I took the chance.
Wore it to my son's wedding and didn't stop getting compliments. I felt graceful instead of frumpy for the first time in years. Tip: I'm 5'4" so I wore a small heel — the length is generous. Already choosing a second colour.
Finally sleeves that cover the arms without being hot, and a length that works with flats. Comfortable enough to wear right through a long garden lunch. True to size for me — no need to size up.
Ordered on the Tuesday, arrived Friday with tracking the whole way, beautifully packaged. I was nervous buying online but this felt like a proper Australian company. Wouldn't hesitate to order again.
