The Gathered Dress

£165.00

There is a dress in every folk song, full-skirted and moving in the wind. And here you have it in our Gathered Dress. It pulls in at the waist and swishes out again, with a striped skirt that was made for movement. Perfect for ceilidhs, village fetes and kitchen discos.

Garment description

Crafted from 100% linen, the Gathered Dress combines a plain linen bodice with a striped gathered skirt for a dress that has movement and weight in equal measure. 

Tiny cotton lace trims the neckline, cuffs and hem. The 3/4 sleeves sit neatly at the forearm and work as well under a jacket as they do on their own.

Available in three colourways:

  • Natural Top with Natural and Brown Stripe

  • Black Top with Black and Natural Stripe

  • Cream Top with Natural and Cream Stripe

How to wear it

The Gathered Dress is made for layering. Wear the Little Jacket over the top for warmer days or the Field Coat when the weather turns cool. The First Wrap tied at the waist adds a second stripe.

Our styles are designed with a generous cut to give an ‘A-line’ silhouette.

Belts, buttons and other accessories can be used to accentuate wherever you would like.

The garments can be sized up and down freely, depending upon your fit preference and with layering in mind.
