Inspired by a vintage silhouette and ethically crafted from 100% linen, the Dahlia mini is the essential luxury dress we’ve been dreaming of. Worn with a matching tie around the waist or without for a more relaxed look, her flowing silhouette and billowy sleeves make the Dahlia dress our new go-to for effortless, elevated style.

Dahlia Mini Dress Maple · A$249
Discharge block printed
The making of Maple
Discharge printing begins by dyeing the fabric before a special paste is hand block printed onto the surface. Fine corn flour is dusted over the fabric to guide precise placement, with the process requiring warm conditions to react correctly.
Just love it. . . the excellent quality of the fabric and style. Makes me feel good. Thanks you ladies

I like the thick linen fabric.
I love it.
Thank you.

I don’t like the fabric as much as the lightweight cotton. But, I like the dress!

Love this Dahlia Maple Dress
Absolutely love this - a little short for my 64 years but I just wear a pair of bike shorts to feel comfortable. The linen material is a beautiful quality and I was worried it would be hot as it's quite thick but it's perfect. Would love to buy the long one in the other pattern when back in stock. As always customer service was very good
Daughters of India

Stunning.
1st class experience all round. Great communication and very speedy delivery livery to UK. The dress itself is stunning, so well made and the linen is devine. Can't wait to wear it on a catamaran party.

Stunning.
My dress arrived today and it is absolutely stunning. Attention to detail is second to none. May I also add that the customer service is first class, I live in the UK and it has taken just over a week between placing my order and receiving my beautiful dress. Thank you so much to everyone involved with the perfect transaction.
Robin S. · Verified buyer · 4 February 2025
Very short!
The fabric is lovely and I like the neckline. Looking at the photos and comparing models’ heights with mine Inexpected this to touch the top of my knee but it’s way too short for me to wear as a dress! I’ll be shortening it significantly and wearing it as a tunic top.

Dahlia Mimi Dress

The perfect dress to throw on.
Love this dress. Super flattering and has pockets which is an added bonus. The linen is a lot heavier than I imagined but the weight of it feels like such good quality.
Susan C. · Verified buyer · 22 January 2025
Super cute
I normally steer clear of brown because my school uniform was dark brown and at 57 I still haven’t gotten over it but, this pattern reminded me so much of traditional Fijian style patterns I had to get it. I really regret missing out on the midi length because it is stunning. The material is quite a bit heavier than my other DOI pieces but this sits beautifully and doesn’t fly away, so silver linings. I love it 🤎
