Made to order

Stella has always been one of our easiest dresses to wear and one of our hardest to forget. For Pre-Fall she moves into Cortado, a deep chocolate brown Irish linen with real warmth to it.

The shape is unchanged: a dropped waist, a full gathered skirt, and a bias cut frill that falls softly from the neckline down through the body. Softly puffed elbow sleeves keep it feeling relaxed rather than formal.

Like many of our pieces she can be worn two ways, V neck to the front or turned to the back. Deep side seam pockets mean you can wear her all day without thinking about it. This is a dress for dinners, for autumn weddings, and for ordinary Tuesdays.

The model is 5'8 and wearing a size S/M.

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.

The cloth

Cortado.
Named for a small, strong coffee.

A deep chocolate brown Irish linen, with real warmth to it.

The Gathering Season was built around café mornings and city walks, so its deepest colour took its name from the coffee. Cortado has the warmth that browns rarely manage, and the depth that makes whatever you wear with it look considered: cream, grey herringbone, or more brown.

You will find it on the Stella Dress and the Barrel Pants.

Colour: Deep chocolate brown

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.

Need it by a particular day? Let us know by emailing us or leaving a note at checkout.
