Description
A plain, useful dress. Sleeveless, buttoned to the waist, gathered onto a drawstring channel so you set the waist where you want it rather than where the pattern decided. The skirt is cut with enough width to sit down in a chair without it riding.
The poplin is garment washed to take the papery hand out of it, so it arrives already soft. It is the piece our own studio team owns in multiples, which is usually the honest test.
Fabric and make
- 100% organic cotton poplin, 145 gsm, garment washed
- Unlined; side seam pockets
- Drawstring waist in self fabric, corozo buttons
- GOTS certified cotton, made in India
Fit
Relaxed. Take your usual size. The drawstring gives a wide range at the waist, so the size is really about the shoulder and the bust.
Model is 170 cm and wears AU 8.
Flat measurements
Taken with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Bust, waist and hip are half measurements — double them to compare against your own body measurement. If you are between two sizes, the fit note above tells you which way we would go.

Care
Machine wash warm with like colours. Tumble dry low or line dry. Ivory holds better if you keep it out of direct sun on the line.

True to size and very comfortable. It is on the shorter side if you are tall — sits above the knee on me at 178.

On its third summer and still white. I wash it warm every week.

Pockets, buttons, washes at home. Nothing clever about it and that is the point.
