navy linen tie shoulder dress

Some dresses don’t need much to make an impression. This simple navy linen tie shoulder dress is one of them. Inspired by a vintage 1960s pattern, it’s easy to wear, endlessly versatile, and the kind of piece that works just as well for a beach vacation as it does for dinner on the patio.

Fabric

100% linen purchased here. Linen is a great summer fabric that only gets softer with wear. The natural wrinkles are part of its charm, giving every piece that relaxed, effortless look.

pattern

Simplicity 7671 (Vintage, c. late 1960s)

A sleek vintage pattern with an easy A-line silhouette and shoulder ties that feel clean and modern. The shape is unfussy but polished. The kind of dress that can go barefoot at the beach or straight to lunch with oversized sunglasses and good sandals.
