1. Where is our linen made?
Our linen is made from 100% European flax, grown in Europe and woven by makers in LINTICO's owned factories. Linen is more sustainable and less resource-intensive to grow than cotton. It's breathable, naturally heat-regulating, and one of the most absorbent fabrics available. To learn more, please check out our materials section.
2. How do I know if the shipment covers my country?
When you fill in the delivery address and can pay normally, it means our logistics services support shipping to your country. We currently cover most of Europe, the United States, Canada， Australia, the Middle East, and Singapore. For more details, please refer to our shipping and delivery policy.
*Please ensure that your shipping address is accurate, as any errors may affect delivery or result in unnecessary losses.
3. What should I do when I have a size issue when shopping, or when I have a problem with coupon usage and payment ?
If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, refer to our size guides. They’re located underneath the available sizes for each of our products. You can also contact our customer service by customerservice@lintico.com, and we’ll be happy to provide one-on-one assistance in recommending the perfect size for you.
5. Does linen wrinkle or shrink?
Made from pure flax, our linen lacks elasticity, resulting in natural wrinkles when worn or slept in. Embrace the 'lived-in luxe' aesthetic — a deliberate, carefree rumpled look that exudes quality. Our linen is garment-washed before it gets to you though, so you should experience minimal shrinkage.
4. How do I wash linen?
Machine wash your linen cold with like colors, on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low and remove promptly to minimize the wrinkled look. Warm iron if needed. Do not bleach. See Product Care Guide on the navigation bar for details.
From Campus Days to Office Ways
Customers praised this breathable linen maxi dress for its "graceful movement" and flattering high waist. The braided neckline adds handmade detail, while practical side pockets and handkerchief hem enhance functionality. Shoppers noted it's "easy for vacation packing" and feels comfortable without being shapeless. Some suggested additional earthy color options.
The braided neckline gives the whole dress a quiet handmade feel.
At 5'4, maxi lengths can be tricky for me. This one still felt wearable with flat sandals because the pointed hem breaks up the length visually. The shape still felt balanced on my frame.
The package arrived cleanly folded, and the braided trim was not flattened. I hung the dress overnight and only steamed the front lightly before wearing it.
This dress has the kind of movement I wanted from a warm-weather maxi. The gathered high waist gives it shape, the lower part flows instead of hanging flat, and the handkerchief hem makes walking feel a little more graceful. For my 36-30-40 shape, M gave enough bust ease without looking loose around the neckline. It stayed comfortable through dinner. The waist also stayed comfortable when I sat down, which matters with a gathered dress.
The linen feels breathable but not flimsy. I wore it in the afternoon sun, then indoors for dinner, and it did not feel too bare or too heavy.
I like that the back stays simple. With the braided neckline and pocket trim already doing the decorative work, a clean back keeps the dress from feeling too busy. That restraint makes the front details stand out more.
Love this...the color, the fit, the braiding!
The colour, fit, and braided neckline all winning you over makes the CARISSA sound like a real favourite. Wash the linen cold and gently with mild detergent, skip bleach, then air-dry or tumble low. We’d be happy to see you again when more special details appear in our new arrivals.

Light, feminine, and very easy for vacation packing.
The high waist is forgiving without feeling shapeless. I usually avoid extra gathers around the midsection, but here the linen falls down from the waist and keeps the dress airy.
For a fuller bust, about 39-33-42, XL felt more comfortable than L. The neckline stayed flat, and the waist still had enough definition for the dress to look intentional.
Honestly, this is the dress I would take on a trip when I want one piece that does most of the work. The neckline has enough detail that jewelry is optional, the pockets are practical, and the hem gives a pretty line in photos. It feels relaxed, not precious, which makes it easier to wear. The linen texture also keeps it from feeling too formal. The fabric has enough weight to drape, but it still feels easy in warm air.
The side pockets are placed well. I could use them without making the dress pull oddly across the front, which is not always true with flowy dresses. I carried a room key and lipstick at dinner, and the dress still fell naturally when I walked. That practical detail makes the pretty hem feel much easier for real life. On a warm day, those small practical details make the dress feel less like a special occasion piece and more like something I will actually reach for.
A softer earthy shade would be beautiful in this cut. The braided detail and hem already have personality, so another muted color would make sense.
Pockets on a linen dress are always a good idea.
Tracking came through cleanly after dispatch, and the delivery was straightforward. The dress arrived without any odd smell, and the linen texture looked natural right out of the parcel.
Exactly the relaxed dress mood I wanted.
Before ordering, I asked customer service whether the braided trim felt stiff against the neck. Their answer was useful and specific, saying the trim is decorative but still soft enough for daily wear. That matched what arrived. I wore it for an outdoor dinner and did not feel scratchy or restricted at all. The reply made the design easier to trust. I appreciated that the answer matched the real feel instead of sounding like a generic sizing note.
Love the pointed hem when it moves.
Small emotional note: I put it on and immediately felt like I had an outfit. No belt, no jacket, no overthinking. That is the best part.
