They may be basic, but they aren't boring. This no-frills, A-line, longer linen dress has two big patch pockets on the front, subtle decorative topstitched seams down the center front and center back... and that's about it! Shorter sleeves look cute as is or turned up a few notches. A blank slate to add your favorite crop shirt, sweater, or duster on top of. Style with a belt or Suspender Dress or turtleneck! Throw a t-shirt over it and knot it. Wear on it's own with the most ridiculous shoes you have! Endless! Possibilities!!

My second basic dress. So well made, the fabric is delicious to wear immediately. I love it.
Absolutely beautiful! Could not be happier! Have owned it less than two weeks and have worn it so many times already: out to dinner, to a retirement party, and just running errands. I love it. Totally comfortable and looks polished but not fussy. Wish I could buy four more in different colors and never have to wear anything else but this to work.
becky custom made me a dress by shortening the existing pattern to fit my smaller frame. it is comfortable, flattering perfection and i wear it constantly. i really should buy a second (and third!?) so i can just live in them for all of eternity.
I am always amazed at the quality of the work that Becky produces. They are very accommodating and always a pleasure to work with.
Love this dress so much! It's a flattering and comfortable cut, and just like the cliche, it goes from day to night effortlessly. Although for me that's from desk to couch, from kitchen to karaoke. As "basic" as it is, I get a ton of compliments, too.
