JULY BELLE - lightweight linen dress with flounce sleeves - Naturally dyed | Charlie Darwin
top of page

Like the crisp soft tide rising into the shoreline, the JULY BELLE dress in 100% linen is simultaneously breathtaking and simplistic. Her flounce sleeves and waist ties enhance the unrefined natural texture we are constantly chasing. The pearly seashell buttons enclose the bodice front, which is fully lined with a soft, breathable, and lightweight cotton. Did we mention that the oversized pockets are perfect for collecting lucky stones, seashells, and foliage along your path?

Custom Sizing:

All of our clothing is sewn to your custom measurements. Please consult our sizing guidelines. We will ask at checkout for any relevant measurements we may need.

  • If you have questions about fit, please contact us.
  • In the photos, Leah is 5' 1" tall; chest 32", waist 31", hips 37". 

 

Naturally dyed: 

Your piece will be naturally dyed by hand in any of our current offerings that you choose (see 2nd photo). I use pigments from plants to achieve rich earth tones. This dress is made from the earth and after a lifetime of wear and tear, it will be 100% biodegradable. 

 

The Fabric: 100% washed linen, medium weight. Bodice front lined in 100% cotton. 

We love linen because of its strength and durability. Linen is considered to be the strongest of all-natural fibers, and gets stronger and softer with washes! We also love it for its low environmental impact, breathability, comfort, and versatility. We thrive on the natural wrinkles in the fabric... it's a lifestyle. 

 

The fabric is very opaque (not see-through), so we find the top to be perfectly breezy and freeing to wear without a bra. 

 

The Sewing:

This piece is sustainably constructed in our studio using zero-waste sewing. All seams are finished (no raw edges), meaning they are prepared to outlive the most active lifestyles. 

 

We believe the garments you love should outlive you. So, we include a complimentary mending kit with every order, which contains matching scrap fabric, matching thread, a sewing needle, and a guide to visible mending. Repair is noble!
