Absolutely love this dress, it feels so soft and comfortable on ~ Denise
The Short Sleeve Organic Linen Dress — two artworks, one silhouette.
Crafted from soft, breathable 100% organic linen, this dress drapes naturally and flatters every body. The short sleeves make it a warm-weather essential, while the relaxed silhouette means it can be styled up or down without a second thought. It's the kind of dress you'll instinctively reach for on busy mornings and slow weekends alike.
Sky Blue & White Stripes — designed with hand-painted artwork from Kerrie, the print blends classic stripes with subtle bush floral brushstrokes. Not one or the other, but both: bold and soft, directional yet grounded. Sky Blue evokes calm and clarity, like a horizon stretching endlessly ahead.
Desert Sand — our Lady Jane embroidery, featuring windmills, horses and quiet rural motifs, stitched into a soft, grounded palette that captures the warmth of the Australian landscape. Earthy charm and timeless ease, made for slow mornings and sunset gatherings on the verandah.
Wear either barefoot on the back verandah, with sneakers for errands, or with boots and a jacket for evening ease. A shape that moves with you, fabric that breathes, and artwork that tells a story every time you wear it.
Because when something feels this natural, this easy, this right — you don't just wear it. You live in it.

The Fit
This is the dress you'll reach for without thinking. Cut loose through the midsection and falling to mid-calf, it moves when you do — through a school run, a market morning, a long drive west. The side pockets are real ones. The linen softens with every wash rather than wearing out, so the dress you buy this summer is the one you'll still be pulling on in three years, a little softer each time. It sits neatly on the bust, so size up if you're fuller busted and it'll hang exactly as it should. Not a dress you save for good — a dress you live in.

About the Fabric
140gsm Linen
hand painted
ethically made
Linen is the oldest fabric we know how to make, and nobody has improved on it since.
We use 100% pure linen, woven from flax a plant that grows without irrigation and barely any pesticide. It's stronger wet than dry, so it survives a lifetime of washing. It breathes and regulates temperature. And it softens every time you wash it, so the pair you own in five years will feel better than the one you unwrap this week.
Our colours are custom-dyed to the country we live in, not bought off a shelf. Everything is designed in Outback Australia and made in India by family-run makers we've worked with for years and know by name.
Linen creases. We've never tried to stop it.

WHY WE MAKE THESE
I couldn’t find linen that fit real women. So I made it.
Outback Linen started at my kitchen table in Longreach, with one frustration: beautiful linen only ever seemed to come in a narrow band of sizes, for one kind of body.
I wanted to make something different. Linen cut for every woman, tested on every size, and worn in the real Australia, not just styled for a photoshoot.
