Linen Puff Sleeve Dress: Leaf Green

GREEN LINEN DRESS

Earthy. Effervescent. Electrifying. 

Green is always a go-to colour for many skin tones, and why not? From pale redheads and blondes to soft browns and darker tones, it’s a universally flattering colour. This shade is just the right blend of warmth, depth and colour to have everyone asking to know where you got this gorgeous dress! And those darling sleeves are so on-trend right now. 

This really is a wear anywhere dress, it’s just as comfortable out for lunch with the girls, running errands or shopping. Dress it down with denim or up with sparkle, this will be a versatile little number to add to your wardrobe. 

This linen dress features a tie string neckline that can be worn open or tied for more coverage. With three tiers to make it extra full and floaty, this darling will move with you with every step. A full skirt can have you looking like a sack o’ potatoes, but not this gem. The tiers give it generous volume and movement and strictly no frump factor whatsoever. 

Worried that the loose dresses turn you into a tent? Fear not, as this cut nicks in a touch under the bust to give it extra shape. Bigger boobed lasses won’t have to worry about the fabric falling like a shelf. Cut is so important in these dresses and our founder Janine tweaked and fiddled approximately 137 times to get it right. The secret is the waist seam—it falls lower at the back for an ultra flattering fit. 

How can we not mention those sleeves? Puffy sleeves are on trend this season, but we don’t want to look like we’ve got lampshades on our shoulders. These are soft and floaty. The genius elastic trim allows you to control the poofiness. The shirred sleeve hem adds detail near your elbow so your arms look positively slender.
