How to Style Your Santorini Dress

Luxurious silk, hand-crafted ombré tie-dye and a flowing silhouette define the Santorini dress, designed for elegant escapes, destination weddings and refined resort wear dressing. Each piece is individually hand dip-dyed, making every dress entirely its own.

This sleeveless, floaty maxi features a soft blush and ivory bodice that gradually fades into a dramatic black ombré, creating a striking silhouette with effortless movement. Crafted in lightweight silk chiffon with three flowing tiers, the Santorini softly skims the waist and hips for an elegant and comfortable fit.

Adjustable shoulder ties allow the dress to be styled front-to-back, adding versatility to your holiday wardrobe. Available in sizes Small through to 2XLarge, the Santorini dress is designed to feel effortless and timeless to wear.

Will the Santorini Dress suit me?

Santorini dress length from armpit seam to hemline is 120cm or 47inches.Santorini upper body is lined. If you are larger busted we suggest going up a size. The waist and upper body is slim fitting and the dress gradually flares out from the upper waist. If you carry weight on your abdomen this may not be the style for you. You may go up a size for a looser fit.

Silk Fabric Care

100% Silk Chiffon excluding lining.

Refresh your silk Items using a handheld steamer rather than washing and dry cleaning, as it is more sustainable than dry cleaning and preserves the quality of all silk clothes. Do not wash in a machine on a cold or silk wash.
You can dip silk in 100% cold water but do not soak silk.

Instead, we recommend dipping into 100% cold water, remove excess water and hang dry immediately. If you decide to hand wash your item, only in cold water use a non-bio liquid or powder. Dilute the liquid in the water, and gently wash by dipping the garment, do not soak. Rinse gently in cold water and reshape whilst damp. For best results hang when nearly dry and steam back to shape.

When packing your dress, our top tip is to fold it and pack inside a pillow case, to protect the silk. The dress may look like alot of fabric but the silk chiffon will pack into half a pillow case and spring back when opened. Hang in the bathroom with the shower on hot .You can also iron on a low heat, test before or steam to remove creases.

The Art of Hand Dip-Dyeing

Each Santorini begins as a pristine ivory silk base, lined through the upper bodice for effortless structure. Over several days, our artisans carefully dip the silk chiffon into rich black tones, allowing the colour to absorb gradually, fading into soft blush and ivory in a signature ombré effect. A second dip deepens the contrast, adding drama and depth to the hand-crafted pattern. No two dresses are identical. Yours will be entirely your own.

Design & Details

Fluid, flattering and unmistakably Lindsey Brown resort wear, our Santorini silk maxi dress is cut in three flowing tiers that move beautifully without adding volume through the waist. Adjustable silk shoulder ties allow you to customise the fit and silhouette, while the shaped bodice softly skims the waist and hips for elegant movement and a flattering fit.

Crafted in lightweight silk chiffon with a lined upper body for added comfort and coverage, the Santorini dress is designed to feel effortless, feminine and timeless to wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the black Santorini available in plus sizes?

Yes, this version of the black Santorini silk maxi dress is cut for a 2XLarge (UK18 / US14 / EU50). The three-tier flowing skirt and adjustable shoulder ties mean the dress moves beautifully at every size, and the shaped bodice is lined to the thigh for added comfort and coverage.

How does the plus size black Santorini dress fit?

The Santorini has a shaped upper bodice lined to the mid thigh, with a relaxed, flared skirt from the waist down. The adjustable silk shoulder straps and tie-front neckline allow you to customise the fit to your height and coverage preference. The three-tier skirt adds fullness from the waist rather than the hips, making it particularly flattering for pear-shaped and curvier figures. If you are larger busted, we suggest sizing up for more room through the bodice.

Can you wear a sleeveless black maxi dress to a wedding?

Absolutely yes, and the black Santorini silk maxi dress is one of the most stylish choices you could make for a summer wedding abroad. The flowing ombré silk in black, blush and ivory has an effortless elegance that feels both dressy and relaxed in warm weather. Style it with rose gold accessories, a statement metallic clutch bag, block heels and bold earrings, for a look that is polished, confident and completely unforgettable.

Can the black Santorini dress be worn two ways?

Yes, one of the signature features of Lindsey Brown resort wear is that many dresses can be reversed. The Santorini dress can be worn front to back, moving the adjustable ties to the back for a different neckline and look.

What is hand dip-dyeing on silk?

Hand dip-dyeing is a traditional artisan technique where the finished silk dress is carefully submerged into dye over several days. On the black Santorini, rich black tones are drawn gradually upwards through the silk chiffon, fading into soft blush and ivory to create the signature ombré effect. A second dip deepens the contrast. Because every dress is dipped by hand, no two are identical.

Is the Santorini dress an original Lindsey Brown design?

The Santorini silk maxi dress is an original design, created by Lindsey Brown back in 2020, and is sold exclusively through our official website at lindseybrown.com.
