Blush Printed Linen Shirt Dress
Description
A shirt dress in a pale blush linen blend, printed with a blue design that reads like faded toile, with full sleeves and a belt at the waist. It covers the arms and still runs cool, which is the specific problem a Florida summer sets and very few dresses solve.
Fabric & feel
65% linen, 35% polyester, made in Italy by Norah&Olivia. The linen is why it breathes; the polyester is why it creases far less than pure linen would over a long day, which on a dress this length is the difference between wearing it twice and wearing it weekly. Matte surface, no sheen. More on how the fibre behaves in heat in our Italian fabric guide.
Fit & sizing
Buttons through the front, with a self-belt marking the natural waist and a skirt that falls straight and long. Sleeves are full and gathered at the cuff. Belted it reads fitted; unbelted it reads as a coat dress. Convert Italian sizing with the fit and sizing guide.
How to wear it
Photographed belted with flat sandals, which is the daytime version — St Armands, lunch, anywhere you will be moving between sun and air conditioning. Leave it open over a swimsuit as a cover-up, or belt it with a heel for evening. The blush takes gold jewellery better than silver. More on the dresses rail.
Care
Delicate wash, cold, and dry flat in the shade — direct Florida sun will fade a print on a pale ground. No dryer. Iron on the linen setting from the reverse while slightly damp, or steam it on the hanger. Hang to store so the skirt does not crease across the front.
