Vintage Linen Tablecloth Dress ~ Cottage Garden Embroidery

**This dress is one-of-a-kind. Size L (measurements below). Made from a vintage linen tablecloth, with beautiful hand embroidery.**

The Solstice Dress. Perfect for multiple seasons (I wear it on both the summer & winter solstice, hence the name). Works with a tank or cami in the summer, or layered over a long-sleeved tee & leggings in cooler weather. Easy-to-wear shape flatters a variety of body types. 

Below the knee length, depending on your height. 39" from shoulder to the shortest part of the hem. Longer at the sides than at the center front & back. 

Fabric is a beautiful, light to mid-weight linen, with lots of drape. It's white with a spectacular array of colorful, hand stitched flowers. So much of the fabric was covered in stitching, in fact, that it was actually a bit tricky to sew. I usually use the plain parts of the tablecloth for things like pockets, linings, & seams...but there just weren't very many plain parts to this beauty. So, everything is heavily embroidered, from the lining to the pockets...and the result is stunning!

Made to last, with French seams & reinforced stitching. I kept the original tablecloth hem to preserve the pretty scalloped lace. I recommend hand washing & line drying this piece, because of the hand embroidery.

Please note, this dress is cut low at the arm holes. Personally, I wear this style on its own when I'm in my own house, but this depends on your comfort level with showing 'side boob'. For more coverage, it can be layered over a bra, tank, or t-shirt.

This dress is made from a vintage tablecloth. Minor imperfections are to be expected & are part of the charm. Anything major will be noted.

This dress is a size L (size chart below). The fit is very forgiving and somewhat adjustable.
