Lin & Lore reviewOur honest take: what we like and what to know
The invitations come in: a long lunch in the garden, a christening, a birthday, Christmas Day. You want to look like you made an effort.
But the dresses that look special are often sleeveless, or they sit close at the tummy. So you reach for the cardi again, even when it’s too warm for one, or you wear the same safe dress as last time.
What you’re after is simple: your arms covered, room through the middle, and one detail that makes it feel like an occasion.

Covered where you want it, easy everywhere else
Theodosia is a relaxed midi dress in a lightweight, textured fabric. The three‑quarter sleeves are full and soft, and they finish in big rosette cuffs at the forearm. That’s the detail people notice.
From the round neckline, a short row of floral buttons runs down the front. The body is a loose A‑line that falls to mid-calf, so it skims rather than clings, and there’s a pocket in each side seam.
Sleeves that cover your arms, and a shape that doesn’t cling.
Why it works
- Three-quarter balloon sleeves. Your upper arms are covered, with air around them on a warm day.
- Rosette cuffs. The one detail that makes a simple dress feel like an occasion.
- A relaxed A‑line. It falls away from the tummy and hips and finishes at mid-calf.
- Pockets. One in each side seam, for your phone or your hands.
Shop this colourWhere you’ll wear it
- Sunday lunch. With flat shoes and a small bag.
- A christening or a birthday. With pearl studs and your good sandals.
- Christmas Day. Pink, Mint or Green feel festive without trying too hard.
- A day in town. Pockets for your phone, nothing to hold up or pull down.

Before you order
Will it cover my arms?
Yes. The sleeves are three‑quarter length: full and soft over the upper arm, finishing with the rosette cuff on the forearm. Your hands and wrists stay free, so it’s easy to eat and carry things.
Which size should I choose?
The dress is relaxed through the body, so choose your usual size. The table shows our supplier’s measurements of the dress itself, not body measurements.
| Size | AU / NZ | Bust (dress) | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 8-10 | 103 cm | 104 cm |
| M | 10-12 | 107 cm | 105 cm |
| L | 12-14 | 111 cm | 106 cm |
| XL | 14-16 | 115 cm | 107 cm |
| 2XL | 16-18 | 119 cm | 108 cm |
| 3XL | 18-20 | 123 cm | 109 cm |
How long is it?
It falls to mid-calf. Our supplier lists the length at 104 cm in S up to 109 cm in 3XL. On a shorter frame it sits a little lower on the leg.
What is the fabric like?
A lightweight fabric blend with a soft, slightly textured surface, which our supplier describes as breathable. In White, a nude slip underneath is a good idea in bright sun.
When will it arrive?
Delivery to Australia and New Zealand is free and tracked, usually within 7–10 days.
What if it doesn’t fit?
You have 30 days from delivery to try it on at home. If the size isn’t right, you can return it unworn within those 30 days. Questions first? Email us at info@lin-lore.com.
If you’d like one dress that covers your arms, gives you room through the middle and still feels special, Theodosia keeps it simple: soft sleeves, rosette cuffs, a relaxed A‑line and pockets.
