Julia Blue Handwoven DressTHE SUMMER HOUSE

The fabric of this sleeveless blue-and-green checked dress was developed in-house at The Summer House studio and handwoven by artisans in Bengal. We like the straight fit and the detail of the front overlap with the neat shoulder pleat. The dress also features a side zip, Rouleau button fastenings at the back, and our all-time favourite detail—in-seam pockets!

The Summer House designs beautiful clothes for small occasions—dinners, cocktail evenings, elegant house parties, and art gatherings. Each piece is crafted by skilled hands using time-honoured techniques, utilizing luxurious, responsibly made natural fabrics that are easy to care for. By working directly with weavers and trusted local NGOs, the label helps vulnerable craft communities earn fair wages and escape exploitative supply chains. We love that their clothes are responsibly made to last year after year, and that they are machine or hand washable without requiring dry-cleaning.
