{"product_id":"the-marnie-dress-1","title":"The Marnie Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall hand-drawn bouquets, placed rather than scattered — a few across the bodice,\u003cbr\u003ea band of them rising through the skirt, and a fine star-and-vine border at the\u003cbr\u003ehem. Everything between is left alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat plain ground is the point, and it isn't plain at all. This is undyed linen —\u003cbr\u003ethe flax's own colour, never near a dye bath — which means the shade was decided\u003cbr\u003eby the sun, the soil and the water the crop grew in. Harvested late, flax turns\u003cbr\u003ewarm brown; soaked in cold water, it takes a bluish cast. Oatmeal like this\u003cbr\u003ecarries tiny tonal irregularities that make the cloth look textured even where\u003cbr\u003ethe weave is smooth. It's the reason it photographs quiet and reads expensive.\u003cbr\u003eOne honest note: undyed shades vary a little batch to batch. That's the nature of\u003cbr\u003eit, not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cut does the rest. The bodice is seamed and fitted with a zip at the back —\u003cbr\u003eproperly built, not elasticated — and the waist is marked with a fine border band\u003cbr\u003ebefore the skirt breaks into tiers below it. That order matters: a defined waist\u003cbr\u003eabove the volume is what turns tiers into movement rather than bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straps are fine, and they adjust, which is exactly what a thin strap needs\u003cbr\u003ewhen it can't rely on width. Set them where you want them and they stay. A\u003cbr\u003estrapless or adhesive style underneath, and that's the last of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd linen only gets better — softer with every wash, for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLinen · fine adjustable straps · straight neckline · fitted seamed bodice with back zip · decorative border band at the natural waist · tiered maxi skirt · engineered placement print with hand-drawn bouquets and a star-and-vine border at the hem · close through the bodice, defined at the waist, full through the tiers · a substantial slubby undyed linen — nude underneath disappears · size to your bust; the bodice is fitted and seamed · model is 5'7\" and wears a size M · in Pressed Posy · machine wash cold, gentle cycle, hang to dry, warm iron while damp\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helena Bloom","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":54340118872277,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":54340118905045,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54340118937813,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54340118970581,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54393903546581,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54393903579349,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/3691\/5925\/files\/ChatGPTImageJul30_2026_10_10_36AM_1.png?v=1785420676","url":"https:\/\/helenabloom.com\/products\/the-marnie-dress-1","provider":"Helena Bloom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
