Fiona | Women's Black Linen V-Neck Maxi Dress

The Fiona is the black maxi you reach for when one dress has to do everything. Cut from a breathable cotton-linen blend that stays cool and keeps a clean, matte finish, it opens on a deep V-neckline that lengthens the frame and draws the eye up. The sleeveless cut and loose, full-length line skim the body and fall without clinging, while a row of gold-tone buttons runs the front placket for a quiet bit of polish. It reads considered rather than off-the-rack, the kind of quiet piece you can build a dozen outfits around.

Its whole appeal is range. Wear it with white sneakers and a denim jacket for an easy daytime look, then swap in strappy heels, a slim belt and a statement earring and the same dress carries an evening out. The linen blend breathes through summer heat and the sleeveless cut keeps it light, while classic black pairs with everything already in your closet, so it becomes the thing you reach for most.

The fit is loose and true to size; take your usual size, or size down for a closer shape with a belt. Full sizing lives in the size chart on this page, so you can check your measurements before choosing. Machine wash cold and hang to dry to keep the black deep.
