The twill madmen dress is a really neat shape, very fitted on the body.
It is a sleeveless dress that is fitted with darts to the waist. The skirt of the dress then skims over the hip and follows down to create a narrow silhouette. It is made from our beautiful twill linen. Fully lined with acetate, it sits beautifully on the body. It has a long invisible zip down the back and a split at the centre back. Also features two mock flap pockets at the front of the skirt just on the hip.

behind the design
Called the Madman Dress, because it really is reminiscent of that era from the 60s that is so captured in the series, Madmen. Ideally worn sitting just over the knee for that retro aesthetic. This dress looks fantastic worn as is, sleeveless. You can easily wear a shirt underneath it. You can wear it under jackets or coats. It's that very valuable piece, a layering piece that you need to create for a professional look in the office, or dress up for an evening with a court shoe and a blouse underneath or even a pretty jacket over the top.
The choices are navy or black in this gorgeous twill linen which has a subtle luster to it. It's a very good quality item and it will stand the test of time.
