Actonhill Maxi Dress

A$455A$650−30%

Available sizes 12

Why it's worth it

Structured bodice on top, breezy skirt on the bottom — two dresses in one silhouette.

The Edit

Cut in a 60% linen blend, the bodice is fully structured and lined with a centre-back invisible zip, sitting in clean contrast to the pleated, relaxed skirt that drops to the floor. The peplum waist creates a defined break between the two volumes, while the detachable rope belt with gold hardware lets you adjust or ditch the cinch entirely. Square neckline is flat and geometric — no fuss, no framing.

Insider Tip

The belt is detachable — worn off, this reads closer to a floaty resort dress; keep it on for garden party or event territory.
