One style of dress I've really been wanting for a few years now is a classic linen dress with folk inspired embroidery. These styles are so timeless and feel right at home with my aesthetic--classic but comfortable with lovely little details. I decided to get one this year for my birthday but then spent months trying to choose a favorite style and color combination and a shop that was actually making them locally through sustainable means. Enter Folie du Lin, a lovely slow fashion brand producing linen clothes by hand out of France. I started following Folie du Lin on Instagram through the suggestion of a friend and quickly fell in love with their beautiful linen pieces, so I was quite excited when they reached out to me and asked if I would like a dress for spring! I immediately fell in love with this style that felt like a fun combination of modern and vintage with the bright pink colored linen and the more classic style embroidery. Really though the sleeves are what sold me on this style; they're so playful and the embroidery on them is so stunning! They have a lovely mix of more contemporary pieces like blouses with beautiful floral embroidery that would style easily with jeans, to the more traditional style dresses like I chose. You can also customize many of their pieces from the linen color to the pattern of the cross-stitch or embroidery. They also created a discount code for me to share with you, use "Rebecca15" for 15% off at Folie du Lin.
