    Josephine Dress

    £495.00
    Ready to ship
    Made to order
    Out of stock
    Model is 5'8.5", UK 8, wears M

    A long shirt dress with a full circle skirt and a little lace at the collar. Josephine takes the composed lines of clerical robes and lets the skirt have some freedom, swinging as you walk.

    Weighty Irish linen gives the dress substance and the skirt its generous fall. The lace draws the eye to the neckline, a delicate detail against the plain cloth, while pockets give your hands somewhere to settle.

    Wear it on its own with flat shoes, or beneath the Inheritance Coat for an afternoon that carries on into evening.

    • Weighty Irish linen
    • Long shirt dress silhouette inspired by clerical robes
    • Full circle skirt
    • Lace detail at the collar
    • Pockets
    • Designed and made in Ireland

    Please get in touch if you have any questions about sizing.

    Linen softens and grows more beautiful with age, which is one of the reasons we love it so much. We recommend either hand washing or machine washing at 30°C separately. Leave to air dry naturally, then press with a warm iron if desired. Do not tumble dry.

    Our made to order pieces have a production time of 3-4 weeks.

    Ready to ship items will be shipped within 1-2 working days.

    Delivery is £6, and free on orders over £250.

    No customs charges for any of our pieces if based in the EU.

    Flax makes the strongest of the natural fibres, and needs far less water to grow than cotton. Linen is cool in summer and warm when the weather turns.

    It softens with every wash, and gets better the longer you keep it.

    One pair of hands,
    start to finish.

    Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.

    We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.
