Elegance, comfort, and a bit of edge, are the words I had in mind while designing the Take Me On Maxi Shirt Dress.
The floral versionย is made from a mid-weight linen/cotton blend fabric in a stunning romantic and neutral print (that reminded me of one of my favourite 80s videos,ย Take On Meย by A-ha).
The lavender and black striped versionย is made from a gorgeous lightweight deadstockย linen/viscose/rayon blend fabric.
The red and burgundy trim versionย is made from a compact cotton that has a utility feel to it. It’s very “crispy” and a hard wearing statement piece. I love it for travelling!
For all versions, we used a contrasting cotton in the collar, button panel and piping along the tier to make a statement.ย Some other thoughtful features include pintucks in the front for shaping, with a small elastic section at the back waist for flexibility and comfort. Short sleeves and shoulder detailing provide a balanced silhouette and keep you cooler on warmer days. Let’s not forget pockets – large enough for your phone, and there is a generous amount of fabric in this dress that offers lots of volume and twirling potential!
Note:ย We have made some very cool customised versions of this dress, behind the scenes., using other deadstock fabrics I have available. Please don’t be shy about reaching out and letting me know what you’re looking for… I’m always happy to collaborate on something you need and will love for a long time!

Styling Guide
Dress it up with a pair of heels, wedges, or strappy sandals in the warmer weather. In the cooler months, you can layer a black polo neck underneather, unbutton the bottom of the dress and show off a pair of black knee high boots or ankle length sock boots. If you like to create dramatic looks, consider buttoning only the top half of the dress, and pairing it with wide-leg pants or jeans on the bottom.
