Belmont Dress
The Belmont Dress is a sleeveless shirt dress cut from linen, a fabric that softens and relaxes with each wear rather than holding a stiff line. The side seams sweep up to the shoulder when the garment is laid flat, a 1920s pattern-making technique that adds fullness through the body and lets the dress fall loosely rather than skim the frame. Shell buttons close the front the full length of the dress, and a belt with a nickel buckle cinches the waist, letting you shape the fit as close or as relaxed as you want it that day. Cut generously enough to wear over other pieces, it works as a dress on its own or layered on top, adapting to how you want to wear it rather than asking you to wear it one way.
Eleanor wears a size 8.
Made to order
This piece is cut and sewn once you order it. Nothing sits pre-made waiting to sell. Please allow around two weeks. Most pieces are made by me, personally; some are made with the help of local machinists here in Aotearoa. For pieces over $800, a fit consultation is included, tailored to fit you.
Returns & Repairs
Because each piece is made specifically for you, I'm not able to offer refunds, if the size or fit isn't right, I'll exchange or alter it free of charge. Repairs are free for as long as you own the piece, and I'll cover the shipping both ways.
Made to order

Sizing
Sizing follows standard AUS sizing across the collection. For pieces over $800, a fit consultation is included, and I'll work with you directly to make sure it's cut to fit.
