The Staithes Dress

£185.00

Staithes sits on the North Yorkshire coast where the land runs out and the North Sea takes over. It’s a village of cobbled alleys and salt-bleached cottages that has looked much the same for several hundred years. The kind of place that gets into your bones. So we named our beloved Staithes Dress after this wonderfully picturesque fishing village.

Garment description

Cut from 100% linen, the Staithes Dress fastens down the front with small, neat buttons and falls long and easy to the ankle. 

A lace insert at the hem adds a floaty, weightless quality to the hem, as though the dress is still moving after you have stopped. 

It can be worn with the buttons at the front or the back, depending on the day. In-seam pockets.

Available in four colourways:

  • Natural

  • Brown

  • Cream

  • Black

How to wear it

Wear it with the Farndale Blouse underneath, the collar and cuffs showing at the neck and wrists, for a layered look that earns its keep in any weather. The Keeper Waistcoat over the top pulls the whole outfit together beautifully. For something more sweeping and dramatic, thrown the the Halfmoon Dresscoat over the top.

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.
