Frock on Friday: Milk & Thistle Kyoto Dress
Sydney birds, it's time to break out your summer frocks this weekend, and I can't think of a better option than local label Milk & Thistle's Kyoto dress. I'm a bit obsessed with kimono sleeves right now, and Milk & Thistle has nailed the Perfect Sydney Summer Dress for Grown Ups with this linen beauty in a striking cobalt blue.
With breezy kimono sleeves and a flattering V-neckline, it's a fabulously versatile dress that can be worn loose like a kaftan or cinched in at the waist. Play around with the long obi-style linen belt to create an elegant silhouette. The soft linen fabric will keep you cool on humid summer days, while the lightly creased look is beautifully on-point.
I popped in to Milk & Thistle's Newtown boutique on Wednesday, and it's not surprising that it's selling hot and fast, with orders flying in online and in-store. The Kyoto dress is also available in other fabrics, including the Collector print by Edith Rewa (see bottom).
Kyoto Dress in Turkish Weave Natural (available end of October).
Kyoto Dress in Collector print worn loose without belt, $310.
