The Lobster Bisque Dress

The original Lavender Lobster icon.

This is the feminine linen dress that started it all — the one our founder imagined long before a single stitch was sewn. Designed to be lived in and loved daily, it’s crafted from 100% premium linen for breathability, softness, and effortless elegance.

The silhouette balances romance and ease: voluminous puff sleeves with adjustable cuffs for a custom fit, a gently corseted waist that ties at the back for flexibility, and a softly pleated swing skirt that moves with you. A full cotton lining ensures comfort, while discreet side pockets and vintage-inspired aged brass snaps down the front add function and character.

This thoughtful design flatters across sizes and stages of life — an inherently more sustainable approach that lets your dress evolve with you. Whether you're dressing up or unwinding barefoot at home, this is your forever feminine linen dress.

100% Linen

This natural linen dress blends elegance with practicality. Voluminous puff sleeves with discreet buttons allow for a customizable arm fit, while the innovative tie pulley system at the back ensures a perfectly snatched waist every time, making it ideal for fluctuating body sizes.

Sustainable and built to last, this dress adapts to your body, letting you size up or down as needed without repurchasing. A modern take on cottage core, it seamlessly transitions from a casual stroll to an elegant event, offering versatility, style, and lasting wear.

Arrives packaged in an unbranded box with whimsical printed tissue inner packing for secure and stylish arrival.

Dresses arrive with a plush lobster friend to give compliments during your try-on session, and maybe share a happy hour martini.
