A few weeks ago I reviewed the Gallabia Peru Dress offered at J Crew. It’s sold out now but it got me thinking about other embroidered dresses and shirts, especially in linen. One of my favorites that I have is from Lucky Brand. It’s a tunic that is a light tie-dye and has an embroidered cuff and neckline. One of the reasons the Gallibia Dress was so striking was that it was embroidered on the front, sleeves and back. I did find a few similar to the Gallabia Dress here, here and eBay.
The Gallabia Dress wasn’t the right shape or fit for me but I did find a few others that could work. I especially like the last two that are more of an a-line or swing shape.
I also found several embroidered tops that will pair well with my growing collection of linen shorts. I found this top on eBay.
I’ll have some reviews coming up of both embroidered dresses and tops in the next few days.
