Details
The Love Dress has a similar silhouette to the Tulip Dress and the Smock (a gentle balloon-shape to the skirt) but with the addition of sleeves! Like most Layercakes, the Love Dress has large pockets and is made of medium-weight or sturdy, hard-wearing linen that both age beautifully and will serve you for years. The shape the sleeves allows you to wear the Love Dress as an over-piece, by itself or as an underpinning to a list of sleeveless Layercakes.
Two different weights...
The Love Dresses come in 2 different linen weights: our heavier weight (found on this page) and our medium weight (which you can find ).
Three lengths
- Petite (identical to the Petite length Tulip Dress): 39.5in (100cm)
- Regular (which is identical to the Regular length Tulip Dress): 44.5in (113cm)
- Long (identical to the Long length Tulip Dress): 50in (127cm)
A note about lengths
When we introduce a new length, we do not just add or take away some fabric at the bottom of the garment. We change the proportions of the garment throughout. So a shorter version will suit a shorter frame at every point, same for a longer one. Example: if you usually order a regular length dress and would like to try the Petite, then it will fit you fine but you will notice that e.g. the pockets will hit you a bit higher on your hips.
