We've added a PREMIUM category to our Made To Order Basic Dress selections. These 100% linen fabrics are more expensive and harder to get! 

Choose your own dress adventure! We can make the Basic Dress out of any of the fabrics listed below. Keep in mind the fabrics run out sometimes, get restocked, maybe, and will change - definitely. So don’t sleep on that dream fabric! We’ve chosen the fabrics we think are perfect for this garment, so trust us when we say these are the ones that work best. Please keep your fabric limited to one only (no patchwork or contrast pockets) and we’ll cut and sew JUST FOR YOU. Let us know which fabric you'd like by adding a note to your order at checkout.

You may also choose regular length, or MINI, which is 6" shorter. Please note "mini" in the note at checkout along with your fabric.

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!!

Measurements are of the garment itself so you can figure out how you want it to fit. Please contact us with ANY fit questions! 

Model shown is 5'1" and wears a commercial size 22/24 and is wearing size 2XL

Care Instructions

All Shift + Wheeler garments (except waxed canvas garments) are made of natural fibers and we recommend cold wash and hang dry, hot iron. If you must machine dry a linen garment, usually 10-20 minutes will do. All fabric is pre-washed to minimize shrinkage.
