MEMPHIS SL LINEN SHIRTDRESS IN FIELDLINE

You can never have too many shirtdresses, and MEMPHIS earns its place as the one you reach for first. Graphic yet feminine, cut straight through the body and cinched at the waist with its own sash, this beautiful, limited edition fabric catches the light differently depending on the day, never quite the same colour twice.

It carries a bit of Memphis in it too, the blues and grit of the city, worn easy rather than precious. Loose and unbuttoned over jeans, cinched tight as a dress, thrown over a swimsuit on the way to the beach, or layered under a jacket once the evening turns cold, it moves wherever you take it.

It softens with every wash, the linen turning from crisp to lived in, the kind of piece that gets better the more you wear it. You’ll find yourself humming along…

Characteristics:

Sleeveless linen shirtdress. Straight fit with shape through the side seam. Bust dart. Side seam pockets. Short wide sash, tied in a simple knot at the waist or lower on the hips. Front button stand with beautiful corozo buttons. Slubs and irregularities are part of the fabric’s character. Style it with jeans, a few buttons open, sash tied, worn with boots or clogs for a seventies feel.

Composition:
100% preshrunk European linen. FIELD LINE, our own weave designed in house with an abstract, Mondrian influenced feel, warp in one colour and weft in another so the colour shifts with light. Cut on the straight grain so lines run true but never match at the seams, meaning no two garments are ever the same. A limited edition fabric, made in a run of 80 metres. Lightweight without reading as sheer. Crisp off the hanger, softening through wear.

Care:
Cold, gentle machine wash. Reshape gently and hang to dry in the shade. Medium heat iron.

Sizing:

Fits true to size, but we like it worn quite loose. Choose your regular size, or go down one size for a more snug fit.
