The Dress

A Sleeveless Linen Maxi Dress Cut to Your Height

A sleeveless linen maxi dress looks effortless, but it has two places where a ready-made one usually fails. The armholes gape, because they are cut for an average bust and shoulder, and the hem is set for an average height, so it either drags on the ground or stops at an awkward point above the ankle.

This sleeveless linen maxi dress is cut to your measurements in 100% linen, unlined to stay cool, with a crew neck at the front and back and a skirt that flares gently to a long hem. It closes with a hidden zip at the center back, has no pockets or vents, and goes in the washing machine. A free cotton test dress comes first, so the armholes sit close and the hem falls where you want it.

Free Test Dress

Armholes That Sit Close

On a sleeveless dress, the armhole is the detail people see most and the one ready-made dresses get wrong most often. Too low, and it shows the side of the bra; too loose, and it stands away from the body when you lean. On the test dress we raise or shape the armhole to your shoulder and bust, and check the crew neck lies flat at the back.

Linen has no stretch, so the fit has to come from the cut. That is why we settle it in cotton before the linen is cut.

1
Choose the linen
Pick the linen color in the selector, then enter your measurements and the length you want, with the shoes you plan to wear in mind.
2
A cotton version comes first
Your test dress is cut in cotton to your measurements; it takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Check the armholes and the hem
Lean forward and look in a mirror from the side: the armhole should not gape away from the body. Put on your shoes and walk; the hem should clear the floor and swing without catching.
4
The linen is cut
We adjust the armholes, the flare and the length, then cut your linen; the final dress takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. The test dress is yours to keep.

Length and Proportion

Where a Maxi Dress Should End

With flat sandalsJust above the ankle bone, so the hem clears steps and sand.
With heelsA little longer, to the top of the foot.
PetiteThe flare is scaled to your frame, so the skirt does not swamp you.
TallEnough length to reach the ankle; ready-made maxi dresses often stop short.

A sleeveless linen maxi dress draws one long vertical line, which is why it flatters almost every height when the proportions are right. Ready-made sizes set the length for one height. Ours is cut from your measurements, so the hem ends where you choose and the flare starts at a point that suits your frame.


Why Linen

Linen in the Heat, Honestly

Linen is woven from flax. It breathes well, dries quickly and stays cooler than cotton or synthetics in real heat, which is why it is the cloth for a summer maxi dress. It also has habits worth knowing before you buy.

CreasingLinen creases; hang it damp after washing or steam it on a hanger.
SheernessBlack and dark colors are opaque; white and natural can show outlines in strong sun, as the dress is unlined.
SoftnessIt feels crisp at first and softens with every wash.
CareMachine wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Sleeveless Linen Maxi Dress

Q. How long should a sleeveless linen maxi dress be?
A. For flat sandals, just above the ankle bone, so the hem clears the ground when you walk on stairs or sand. For heels, a little longer. We take your height and the shoe you plan to wear, and set the length on the test dress.
Q. Is linen good for hot weather?
A. Yes. Linen breathes well and dries quickly, so it does not stay damp against the skin. Being unlined, sleeveless and loose below the bust, this dress lets air move around the body, which is what keeps it cool.
Q. Is a linen maxi dress see-through?
A. Dark colors such as black are opaque. White, natural and pale blue can show outlines in strong sunlight because the dress is unlined; a skin-tone slip solves that. If you want to check, ask for samples and hold them against the light.
Q. What are the downsides of linen?
A. It creases, it can feel crisp until it has been washed a few times, and it is too casual for a black-tie evening. Most people accept the creases as part of linen’s character; a quick steam takes out the worst of them.
Q. Does a 100% linen dress need ironing?
A. Not always. Hang it while still damp and smooth the seams by hand, and most creases fall out as it dries. For a sharper look, iron it on the reverse while slightly damp, or steam it on a hanger.
Q. How do I pack it so it does not crease?
A. Roll it rather than fold it, with tissue or a thin T-shirt inside, and hang it in the bathroom while you shower on arrival. The steam relaxes the fibers.
Q. Can I wear a maxi dress if I am petite?
A. Yes, when it is cut for your height. Off-the-rack maxi dresses are proportioned for a taller figure, so the hem drags and the volume of the skirt overwhelms a smaller frame. Ours is cut from your measurements, with the flare scaled to your frame and the hem set for your shoes.
Q. Is black linen a good choice?
A. Yes, for coverage and for evenings. Black linen is fully opaque and looks dressier than pale colors. Like any dark linen, it softens in tone over time with washing and sun, so dry it in the shade and turn it inside out to wash.
Q. Can I machine wash it?
A. Yes. Use a cold, gentle cycle, do not overload the machine, and line dry. Linen softens with every wash.
Q. Can I add pockets or sleeves?
A. Yes. Write it in the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. Side seam pockets, cap sleeves or a V-neck can all be added to this pattern.
Q. Can I see the linen before I order?
A. Yes. Our swatch service sends up to four samples about 2 by 4 inches, usually within 4 to 6 business days. Quote product number 3200007 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How long will my dress take?
A. The cotton test dress takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you approve the fit, your linen dress takes another 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch, so plan around the date you need it.
