Alémais' 'Mlak' shirtdress brings together painterly florals, hand-drawn figures and fragments of lettering in a vivid patchwork. Cut from cotton and silk voile, it has a smocked waist that gathers the artwork into a full, fluid midi skirt.

70% cotton, 30% silk

Drawing on Creative Director, Lesleigh Jermanus’s Lebanese heritage, Alémais creates contemporary collections of optimistic prints, patchworks and embroideries, using Australian-based talent and supporting artisanal communities. The brand strives towards transparency and sustainability, prioritising natural, organic, renewable and regenerated fibres wherever possible.

Summer calls for dresses in every shade and silhouette. From crisp white cotton and relaxed linen shirt dresses to full-blown romance and modern prints, these are the dresses you'll want to wear all season, from Ganni and Jigsaw to Zimmermann and Toteme.
