Broderie done right
The eyelet embroidery is so dense and even across the whole dress, not just a token panel at the hem. Each little floral cutout is finished cleanly. In ivory it reads as quietly expensive without trying.
An Italian summer, embroidered by hand
Plautina is the dress for the slow hours between noon and the sea.
Fine broderie anglaise runs the length of the cloth in a quiet floral repeat, scalloping at the cuffs and the hem in the way only hand embroidery can.
A soft self-tie at the neckline and beaded ties keep the styling unhurried and entirely undone.
Ease, fully lined
Airy on the surface, considered underneath.
The cotton-linen breathes through the heat while a smooth cotton slip sits beneath, so the openwork reads as texture rather than exposure.
Balloon sleeves and a gathered yoke give the dress its generous, gathered fall, equally at home barefoot or with a flat sandal.
