Will the Santorini Dress suit me?

Our blonde model Anna, is wearing size small and is 5ft10 approx 177cm. Our lovely brown haired model Carmella is wearing a loose fitting Small and she is size UK8 to 10 which is USA4 to 6 and 5ft4 162cm tall.

Santorini upper body is lined. If you are larger busted we suggest going up a size. The waist and upper body is slim fitting and the dress gradually flares out from the upper waist. If you carry weight on your abdomen this may not be the style for you. You may go up a size for a looser fit.

If you tummy is larger than your hips, this may not be the best style for you. You may go up a size for a looser fit.

The length from armpit seam to hemline is 120cm or 47inches. The dress lining in white finishes at the first ruffle.

The bottom hemline can be shortened by our tailor.

Silk Fabric Care

100% Silk Chiffon excluding lining.

Refresh your silk Items using a handheld steamer rather than washing and dry cleaning, as it is more sustainable than dry cleaning and preserves the quality of all silk clothes.Do not wash in a machine on a cold or silk wash.
You can dip silk in 100% cold water but do not soak silk.

Instead, we recommend dipping into 100% cold water, remove excess water and hang dry immediately. If you decide to hand wash your item, only in cold water use a non-bio liquid or powder. Dilute the liquid in the water, and gently wash by dipping the garment, do not soak. Rinse gently in cold water and reshape whilst damp. For best results hang when nearly dry and steam back to shape.

When packing your dress, our top tip is to fold it and pack inside a pillow case, to protect the silk. The dress may look like alot of fabric but the silk chiffon will pack into half a pillow case and spring back when opened. Hang in the bathroom with the shower on hot to create steam. You can also iron on a low heat, always test before. You can also steam to remove creases.

SKU: SAN_TQ_2XL

Turquoise blue floaty plus size silk maxi dresses called Santorini by Lindsey Brown resort wear, in turquoise blue is such an iconic colourway for a silk holiday dress. The white base colour is hand dip dyed over several days to create our iconic graduated dip dyed hemline. Eight metres of hand dyed silk chiffon are sewn to create this beautiful sleeveless silk maxi dress. The graduating colour of turquoise blue into white is created by using a hand tie dye affect called ombre. The hand tie dye on silk is created after we make and sew a finished white dress. The top of the dress is white, lined with white base, then dipped into bright turquoise dye. Left over a few days the dye is drawn upwards and gradually the blue colour merges into the white. 

Santorini is a designer silk maxi dress of dreams. This striking turquoise silk evening summer maxi dress will be your go to maxi dress for every holiday. The fit is exquisite, as the silk dress gently floats out for the waist without adding width to the body.  This turquoise silk maxi dress is perfect for all heights as the neckline is adjustable with silk ties with pretty indigo blue and turquoise tassels at the end. The hemline has not been decorated so this can be shortened. 

The shape of our beautiful Santorini silk maxi dresses has a shaped upper dress body lined with white microfibre and from the upper waist the shape is loose and flared. Three tiers of silk create the flowing skirt of the Santorini dress, as this ensures the fullness from each skirt tier, rather than fullness from the waist. 

Sleeveless, with silk shoulder straps that can be adjusted, allowing many heights to wear this floaty silk maxi plus size dress. The back of the neck is fixed, and the front ties not only move, allowing many heights to wear this dress, the neckline can also be adjusted for full or partial coverage over the neckline and cleavage. Two tassels decorate each shoulder strap in indigo blue and turquoise. You can also turn the dress back to front, one of the many signature features of a Lindsey Brown dress to wear the tassels at the back.  If you are pear shaped this would be a wonderful dress for you as the dress skims over your waist and hips. If you are more apple shaped or larger on your waist area and usually size up in dresses, the Santorini may not be the dress shape for you as the upper body and the waist area of the dress is fitted and not stretchy. Our loose-fitting maxi dresses maybe a more suitable dress style from sizes 2xlarge upwards.

Dressed in your Santorini turquoise silk maxi dress, you will be the most stylish guest at any occasion such a summer wedding  in Greece. For a casual daytime look wear with pale gladiator sandals or wedges for a relaxed look. Style with silver statement earrings, layered bangles and matching stylish raffia or woven clutch bag. By night, style the dress with a statement bangle and earrings. The bright turquoise blue can be worn with either silver or gold accessories depending on your preferred look. In fact, it does not really need any jewellery, the effortless floaty dress says it all. As seen on the fabulous show Mamma Mia I Have a Dream. Every dress is hand crafted so the tie dye placement will vary. Each dress may be a a little different in their vertical tie dye placement as this artisan technique of tie dye, is by hand, creating a truly unique garment. Santorini silk maxi dresses are an original garment  design by Lindsey Brown luxury silk resort wear.
