Maxi Dresses

Our maxi dresses are long, relaxed and made to move in, with soft organic and loomed cotton, side splits, and pockets on most styles. Wear them with sandals on hot Australian days, or layer with a long sleeve top and boots when it cools down. Every dress is designed in Australia and ethically made in Nepal using low-impact dyes.

Woven cotton dresses for women made in Nepal

DRESS IT
UP,
DRESS IT
DOWN.

You choose how you wear our dresses.

We give you the block colour blank canvas and you decide ... if it's an everyday dress, a going-out dress, a work dress, a quirky dress, a dress-you-don't-see-everywhere-dress, or just your old faded comfy friend that you live in at home ... that's OK!

We LOVE that you make it your own! We LOVE that you wear it, that you live in it.

"Great, lovely to wear, perfect fit & great colour for Autumn Winter wardrobe! So versatile, could wear all year round."
— Jennifer | Overall Maxi Dress
"This dress is phenomenal. The material is of quality, the colour is beautiful. It can easily be dressed up and down. I intended to wear this to a wedding but I'll also be wearing it day to day with a cute pair of sandals. This dress is fabulous for different seasons too."

"I love the Calliope dress so much that I've since ordered one in the oatmeal as well. I just felt so comfortable while wearing it. Looks great with a long sleeve top underneath and some boots for winter but will also work in summer with sandals and a t-shirt underneath."
— Narelle | Calliope Dress
"Love my maxi's. I loved the first one so much, the style and fit are so lovely, so I bought another colour in it. Absolutely gorgeous 🤗."

Are maxi dresses good for hot weather?

Yes. Breathable cotton keeps you cooler than synthetics, and the long length gives you sun protection without the heat. Choose a relaxed cut with side splits, like the Sarita or flowing Wild Rose Dress, for more airflow.
