Relaxed Elegance, Worn Your Way
The Alba Linen Shirt Dress is a beautifully versatile warm-weather piece that works as hard as you need it to — wear it fully buttoned as a flowing midi dress, leave it open as a lightweight layer over a swimsuit, or belt it at the waist for a more defined silhouette. Clean, effortless, and endlessly wearable all spring and summer long.
Why the Alba Linen Shirt Dress is perfect for you:
-
Full Button-Front Closure: A complete row of buttons from neckline to hem gives you full control over how you style this dress — open it up for a breezy, layered look or wear it fully closed for a clean, polished finish that transitions naturally from casual days to relaxed evenings.
-
Band Collar Neckline: A soft, stand-up band collar adds a refined, minimal detail to the neckline that gives this shirt dress a slightly more elevated finish than a standard open collar — understated and elegant without being overly formal.
-
Relaxed Midi Length: A flowing, below-the-knee hem offers comfortable, flattering coverage that works beautifully with flat sandals for a casual summer look or strappy heeled mules for a smarter, more polished occasion outfit.
- Long Sleeve with Rolled Cuffs: Full-length sleeves can be worn down for a neat, finished look or casually rolled up for a more relaxed, warm-weather feel — a practical detail that makes this dress seasonally versatile across spring, summer, and transitional days.
Make the Alba your go-to shirt dress for every warm-weather occasion.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.
