100% Linen Striped Ruffle-Placket Short-Sleeve Mini Dress
A relaxed shirt dress in striped linen, with a ruffled placket down the front and patch pockets at the hip. Short sleeve, mini length, cut loose rather than fitted. Built more for lounging than a tailored occasion, though it holds up as a cover-up too.
The fabric
148gsm 100% linen, yarn-dyed in a mono stripe. Mediumweight but semi-sheer, so it's worth a slip underneath in strong light. The stripe runs the same on both sides of the placket, so it lines up when buttoned.
The fit
Relaxed fit, straight silhouette, mini length. Short sleeve, with a ruffled button placket at the front and patch pockets on both sides. There's no waist shaping, so it hangs straight from the shoulder rather than nipping in.
How to wear it
Loose over swimwear, or on its own around the house — it's built for loungewear rather than tailored occasions. Patch pockets mean it works without needing to carry a bag, whether that's keys at the beach or a phone around the house.
- Composition: 100% linen, yarn-dyed, 148gsm
- Fit: relaxed, straight silhouette

Care
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Line dry. Iron warm if you want the stripe to sit crisp — otherwise the relaxed cut hides most creasing anyway.

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.
