Root — stem-neck mini dress

Everything rises from one line. Root is cut with a single stem-neck — a straight diagonal that climbs from under one arm to a point at the opposite shoulder, leaving the other side bare. Strapless at the back, close through the body, built to follow you rather than shape you. No straps, no hardware, nothing to adjust.

The bloom needs the mud. Wear what keeps you rooted.

Details

• Front and back princess seams for a close, structured fit

Fabric and care

• Line dry in shade, reshape while damp
• Warm iron inside out while slightly damp
• Linen softens and creases with wear — that’s the point

Fit

• Fitted through bust, waist and hip
• True to size. Size up if you’re between sizes or want more room through the hip
• Model is 5'8" and wears a UK 8

Styling
Bare arms and stacked silver. Or let a shirt fall over the open shoulder when the evening cools
