Introducing Daphne, an outrageously effortless, sleeveless maxi dress to pop on and go, no matter the occasion. This easy, versatile style - with heavily requested, handy hip pockets and our iconic Popover Henley neckline - is destined to be a forever classic in your closet..

  • Full gathered skirt sits at your natural waist

  • Handy side pockets
  • Sleeveless pullover design with no closure
  • Kristine is 5'9" with a 34" bust wearing a size S
  • 49" length from shoulder to hem (size S)
  • This style was made using a small batch garment-dye process, giving each piece a unique look that will evolve and fade over time
  • As of 4/18/25, we adjusted the cinch in the fabric for a lighter silhouette and all reviews posted will be related to the updated fit.
  • Washed Linen has a heavier weight and tumbled texture with hints of grain and thread throughout the fabric, adding a rich, almost vintage hand-feel.
  • 100% Linen
  • Our linen is made from European flax, while the fabric is produced in Mauritius. Our partner oversees every step, from dyeing and pre-treatment to the weaving, sewing, and finishing of the fabric.
  • We recommend washing separately in cold water before the first wear to prevent any color transfer. After that, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.

How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Love the Dress!

"As my first F & E purchase, I could not be more thrilled. The Daphne Navy, Washed Linen wears like a piece I have had for years but still looks like the first day I wore it. The fabric stole my heart the moment I opened the box. The luxurious hand reminded me of trips to Italy - alluringly soft and comfortable to wear but you still look so effortlessly pulled together! I just wish that F & E would consider a petite option at least for their most popular pieces?!? Pretty please? Your newest loyal customer would be so happy! In the meantime, I think my local seamstress will be seeing me more frequwntky"

— Geri G. (5/5)

Skirt way to big

"Great style just way to much material… going to see if my seamstress can take a few inches out…"

— Mary J. (3/5)

Daphne Dress

"This is a wonderful dress. I have in several colors and it's a throw on and go- easy. It runs a bit large but the XS was too small across the chest. I generally wear a small in F&E"

— Leslie C. (5/5)

Runs Large

"This dress did not work for me. It was too big and long and full. I think it would look best on someone who is tall and slender."

— Susan M. (2/5)

"Great fit and style"

Daphne linen dress

"The skirt is too full. Love the pockets though. Like the neckline and navy color."

— susan A. (4/5)

Beautiful dress but F&E sizes are indeterminate

"Love this dress. Fabric is beautiful and not too bulky at the waist. I do have the white version from last year in size M and there is no difference between the two sizes. I am a 30G bra size and it fits without clinging, though if you’re in the US and can return things easily, I’d recommend trying the XS. Very long, though. I had to have it taken up at least 5” as I’m 5’1”"

— Gita B. (5/5)

Daphne navy dress

"Such a fun dress to wear Tie a white bitten shirt over the dress and voila another gun outfit"

— Melisse E. (5/5)

Total Coastal Grandma

"Nice heavy linen that doesn't wrinkle if you breathe on it, soft washed tone of navy blue, generous cut for those of us needing to lose a few around the middle. Fits perfectly—all except the arm holes, which are cut a little large, making my bra visible. So will need to wear something under it. . ."

— Missy S. (5/5)

Perfect color perfect style

"I knew I would love this impeccably styled dress when I saw it & I do! It fits great and feels like a dream. The soft medium blue color is spot on and the fabric is soft and comfortable. I did see in the description that F&E headed customer reviews & have less fabric in the “skirt” part but if I had one criticism it is that it is still slightly too voluminous and the extra fabric makes it feel a little heavy to wear; feels like it’s pulling on my shoulder a tad. But it’s subtle & I feel just the right amount of pulled together in this winner of a dress! Headed reviews that said it runs large & got the right size for me."

— Vicki S. (5/5)
