100% Cotton Pleated Long-Sleeve Midi Dress
A heavyweight cotton midi dress with long sleeves and pleated detailing, built for the cooler months rather than peak summer. More coverage and more weight than the linen pieces in the range.
The fabric
100% cotton at 220gsm, heavyweight and fully opaque. No stretch. This is the heaviest fabric in this selection, which is why it sits in the fall and winter category rather than alongside the linen.
The fit
Relaxed through the body with long sleeves, pleated detail and a midi length. No fixed waist seam — the pleating shapes the silhouette instead, falling loose rather than cinched at any point.
How to wear it
Built for cool-weather, everyday wear — layer with a jacket once the temperature actually drops, or wear alone on a mild day. Not a beach or summer piece. Better suited to the odd cooler stretch on the north coast than to anywhere that gets a real winter, given the fabric is cotton rather than wool.

Care
Machine wash cold, hang to dry in the shade. Cotton at this weight can be tumble dried on low if needed, but air drying keeps the pleats sharper for longer.

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.
