The Box Dress

£111.00 £185.00

The Box Dress is for quiet, unexpected afternoons. Named for its box pleats, it’s a beautiful dress for picnics that go well, for walks that end somewhere unexpected, and a drawstring neckline to loosen as the day goes on. Oh, and not forgetting the large patch pockets for whatever treasures you find on the walk home.

Garment description

Made from 100% linen, the Box Dress features a generous A-line silhouette that falls easily from the shoulder. Box pleats give it shape and detail. The drawstring neckline can be worn close or loosened, and the cotton lace trim at the cuffs and hem adds a softness that sits well against the weight of the linen.

Available in six colourways:

  • Natural

  • Brown

  • Cream

  • Black

  • Black with Natural Stripe

  • Natural with Cream Stripe

Styling Notes

Wear it over the Petticoat Slip with sandals in summer or pulled-on boots when the season turns. Add the Keeper Waistcoat belted over the top, and the box pleats will thank you for it. The striped colourways layer particularly well under the Olchon Coat.
