Brown floral dress with a wrap front and midi hem

There’s one brown floral dress in our workshop, a wrap midi with tiny flowers scattered over a chocolate ground. We sew it for the warm season with short sleeves and a V-neck. Below is everything we know about wearing it.

What the wrap does for your waist and neckline

The front crosses over and ties. That crossing makes the V-neck and pulls the dress in at your waist, so you don’t need a belt. The hem ends below the knee, while short sleeves keep your arms bare for a hot afternoon.

We sew it ourselves in Ukraine, in five sizes. XS corresponds to a US 2 and XL to a US 12, and the full chart sits on the product page.

Small flowers on dark brown look calm. They won’t shout across a meeting room, and they won’t feel out of place on an evening promenade either. In Britain you’d call it a brown flowery dress, and it’s the same easy thing.

How do you get the size right? Measure your bust and your waist, then find both in the chart, which runs XS to XL. If a number lands right on the border, write to us in the chat and we’ll tell you which of the two sizes to take.

A light blazer for the office, leather sandals for Sunday

On a workday we’d wear this brown floral dress with a pale blazer and low-heeled pumps. After work, the blazer comes off. That’s the whole change for dinner.

Weekends are simpler still. Flat leather sandals do the job, with a woven bag worn across the body. Is it only an office dress, then? Not at all. The same calm print suits a slow walk by the water after sunset, and that’s why we file it with our evening styles as well as the everyday ones.

Brown loves gold. Pick jewelry in a warm tone, a thin chain or a pair of hoops, and leave the silver at home this time. It’s a dress for warm weather, so a cool spring morning calls for a trench in sand or olive over it.

We can’t offer you a row of brown prints to compare, just this one. If you’d like the same wrap cut on another ground color, our floral wrap styles have it, and plain shades live on the brown dress page.

Frequently asked questions

Is the print loud?

No. The flowers are small and the ground is dark chocolate, so the pattern stays quiet.

Can I wear it in the fall?

We make it for summer. Early in the season a trench helps, and a blazer adds a layer indoors, but for October we’d send you to brown dresses for fall.
