Searching for that FLIPPABLE frock that's not too fussy, but is fun and flirty, and feels light as a feather? Don't sweat it (literally) a minute longer! The #linearAIR (with two ways to wear AND maxi and midi length options!!!) is finally here!
EASY BREEZY- This smocked frock has a relaxed, roomy fit for ease of movement anywh'AIR' you go! Flowy flutter-sleeves add a feminine touch at just the right height. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!! If you don't need the elbow room (or want some extra modest coverage), you can change the sleeve in a cinch! Simply pull on the hidden drawstrings on the inside seams of the sleeve openings and tie in a knot or bow (you're still good to go)!
(watch the video found in the dress images to see how to hide the drawstring when you pull it back into 'flow mode')
FLIP AND ZIP- Keep it fun and flirty with the round neck in the front, or consider it extremely nursing friendly (you're welcome) when you wear this shirred midi or maxi with the zipper facing forward. Unzip a bit and tuck in the upper corners for a 'V'ery airy vibe. Front or back, you'll get a-round (neckline..hehe). And while we are talking about standout features, can I just mention...POCKETS?! I'll leave it at that.
GO WITH THE FLOW- Crafted in the same billowy fabric as the #linearELLEMAXI , this linear look will move when you do without feeling like you've been caught in a tent. It's dressy enough for date night (those bold accessories will really deliver an extra punch) or p'AIR' with metallic flat sandal for a style that works all day long. Want a more structured silhouette that's a bit more 'fit and fl'AIR'? Simply tie the matching belt at the waist to accentuate your curves.
Looking for the frock to rock all sum'AIR'? You know wh'AIR' to go to buy it NOW :)

FIT/STYLE NOTES AND SIZE INFO
The #linearAIR is a smock style, FLIPPABLE (!!!) frock offered in midi and maxi lengths. It flairs from the waist down. The top has a slightly boxy cut, but with a bit of a curve in the side seams to enhance your natural silhouette. Flutter sleeves (with a hidden drawstring for cinching- see video in dress image carousel), pockets and a matching belt complete the look!
You can choose to wear this frock with the zipper in the front (it's a great nursing friendly option)
For the 'V' shape at the front neckline, unzip about an inch or so (based on your personal modest preference) and tuck the corners inwards.
-Maternity friendly (we suggest sizing up in this non-stretchy style if you plan to wear later in pregnancy and tying the belt above belly) and a great postpartum option too. Belt at the smocked waistline for a more structured silhouette.
IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING SIZING
The fit on the AIR dress is based on your upper body. Consider the size of your shoulders, and chest area when choosing a size from the chart below. As the dress is flowy from the waist down, there is plenty of wiggle room for the lower body area. If you are broader on top, especially your chest, we suggest sizing up. If you fall between two sizes on the chart, sizing up will give you more width in the waist, shoulder and chest area. It will also mean the dress is slightly longer in length.
For most, the fit remains consistent with the chart below. If the size number is prefaced by 'SMALL', then you are smaller at the top part (chest/shoulders) of your body. Please keep in mind that the XS/S will be roomier on a petite size 0/2.
SIZE GUIDE:
XS/S- 0,2,4,6,8
M/L- 8,10,12, small 14
XL- 14,16,18,small 20
LENGTH/ WIDTH GUIDE: Approx lengths for the AIR dress are taken from uppermost part of shoulder (HPS) to the bottom hem. Double the width for complete circumference around the body on chest and hips. All measurements are taken when dress is on a flat surface.

Chest: 19 inches
Hips: 38 inches
Sleeve: 17 inches
Length: 57.5 inches
M/L
Chest: 20 inches
Hips: 38.5 inches
Sleeve: 17.5 inches
Length: 57.75 inches
XL
Chest: 23 inches

Sleeve: 19 inches
Length: 59 inches
GUIDE TO FINDING YOUR MEASUREMENTS:
LENGTHS- Place a measuring tape at the center point of one of your shoulders where your neck curve meets your shoulder (Also known as HPS- High Point Shoulder). The '0' (zero) on the tape should be your starting point. Drop the tape and let it hang. It helps to look in a full length mirror to determine the length that suits you (If you prefer above, on or below the knee). For reference, average lengths (depending on your height) fall between 37-41inches on size XS. Since everyone's torso/leg lengths are different (even if two people are the same height), coverage length can never be exact. For all styles, we list the approximate lengths of our dresses measured from HPS. Please check the lengths to see if they work for you.
WIDTHS: Chest- Position the '0' (zero) of the measuring tape underneath one armpit aligning it as much as possible with the center part of your bust. Wrap around the circumference of your chest area until the tape matches point zero from the backside. Keep in mind that knits (stretchy styles) can accommodate widths that are broader than the listed dimensions due to fabric forgiveness, while wovens (fabric with minimal or no stretch) will only 'give' to a certain point. Usually, patterns are adjusted to work for sizing when the fabric is woven.
Hips- Repeat steps for measuring Chest, but start at the widest point of hips.
Arms- Repeat steps for measuring Chest, but start under armpit and measure around biceps if the style has a defined sleeve opening at the point where the shoulder meets the arm (so you can determine if the sleeve width will work for your upper arm).
Sleeve length is measured based on style: if there is an armhole where it meets shoulder, it is measured from that point. If the style is a caftan, or drop sleeve (where there is no defined shoulder opening) it is measured in length from HPS to sleeve hem.
THIS FABRIC IS LIGHT AND AIRY. IT HAS A SILK LIKE HANDLE BUT HAS A BIT MORE OF A CREPE-LIKE TEXTURE. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THIS FABRIC IS NOT SHEER, THE OPACITY LEVEL IS NOT COMPLETELY OPAQUE. A VERY FAINT OUTLINE OF THE BODY IN CERTAIN AREAS MAY BE VISIBLE IF YOU ARE STANDING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. BECAUSE THE DESIGN IS VOLUMINOUS, IT IS NOT EASILY VISIBLE. THE BLONDE AND BRUNETTE MODELS ARE NOT WEARING A SLIP IN THE IMAGES, BUT IT CAN DEFINITELY BE WORN WITH ONE AND IS NOT NOTICEABLE AGAINST THE GARMENT. FOR THOSE THAT PREFER A BIT OF EXTRA COVERAGE, WE SUGGEST CHECKING OUT OUR SLIP COLLECTION
