Layering note

Unlined and graded opaque on the rig. The thing to plan for here is not light but the wrap front, which opens above the knee when you sit.

Wrap Dress Linen-Blend

$132 USD

4 out of 54 · 1 review

A true wrap in 55/45 linen-viscose, with an interior tie and a snap at the crossover.

Light and lining

Opaque
Under our backlight rig, the outline of the form behind the fabric is not readable.
Unlined
There is no second layer anywhere in this piece.

The backlit photograph above was taken on our fixed rig. The rig conditions are published. We do not claim any piece blocks light completely.

Where the hem lands when you sit

Below the knee standing; seated, the wrap front opens to just above the knee.

Measured seated: 3 cm above the knee at the base size. How this is measured.

In moving air

Moderate — the hem moves in air but returns quickly. A common choice for part-outdoor events.

This is a description of how the cloth behaves, not a promise about the weather.

What this fabric does

  • The wrap front opens when seated. The snap holds the crossover, not the hem.
  • The linen content creases at the lap and the elbow.
Fabric and care in full

Why it is made this way

The blend is 55% linen for the hand and 45% viscose for the drape, and we print that ratio on the label because a 'linen-blend' with 12% linen is a different dress.

A real wrap opens. We add an interior waist tie and a hidden snap at the crossover point, which holds the front closed when you sit and when you climb into a car.

    The snap at the crossover does what they say it does. The wrap still opens above the knee when I sit, which the page also says. I am short and the below-knee length reads as midi on me.
