I ordered the WORK midi dress in a slightly longer length in Shadow medium-weight linen. It works out as a maxi dress on my 1,55m and I love it! The design is simple but flattering and the colour is gorgeous (not as dark as in the photo sample): somewhere between brown and grey with a slight lilac tinge, very hard to describe! Size L is comfortable for my body shape (EU40-FR42) without being baggy, perfect advice from Egle once again. My linen addiction just keeps growing, thank you for making such beautiful clothes 🙂
