Statement sleeves

A versatile shift dress for Natalie, made in a midweight pure linen and finished with statement sleeves. I shortened the bodice and hem to suit her proportions.

 Teardrop keyhole

Thanh chose a deep blue Tencel and linen blend for her dress. She loved the shape the elastic waist gives and the teardrop keyhole at the neckline. I shortened the bodice and hem to suit her proportions.

Summery elegance

For Fiona’s summer dress, I suggested a blue and white stripe in a viscose and linen blend because it drapes so softly. It’s full length with knee-high splits, so it’s elegant but breezy. Fiona loved that she could adjust the waist with the drawstring.

Soft and breathable

Amanda loved the soft cotton and linen blend I suggested for her. She’s 178 cm (5'10"), so I lengthened the bodice and skirt. With an adjustable drawstring waist and fabric that lets the air through, she’s already asked me to make more for the hot months ahead.

A dress for every occasion

Melissa’s dress is a fine black and white puppytooth, mostly linen with a little viscose for drape. The statement sleeves add some flair, and it goes from the office to dinner and drinks after work.
