Is pure linen worth it over a linen blend?

Pure linen breathes better and softens with each wash. Blends resist wrinkles more but feel less cool in heat.

How does this compare with Polo Ralph Lauren's cotton midi dresses?

Linen is lighter and more breathable than cotton but creases more. The cotton versions hold their shape with less ironing.

Does the boat neck work with a bra?

A boat neck sits wide on the shoulders, so a strapless or convertible bra works best. Regular straps will show.

Can it be worn to an office?

Yes, with a cardigan or blazer over the sleeveless cut. The midi length and stripes keep it smart-casual rather than formal.

How should I care for the linen?

Wash cold and hang to dry, then press while slightly damp. Avoid high heat, which shrinks linen.

Is the plus size cut the same as the regular?

The plus range uses the same design but a different fit block. Shoppers report it runs differently, so check the size chart.

About the Polo Ralph Lauren Women's Striped Linen Midi Dress

A sleeveless linen midi dress from Polo Ralph Lauren with a boat neck and horizontal stripes. Linen breathes well and softens with wear, which makes it a natural pick for warm weather and resort dressing. The boat neck and clean sleeveless cut give it a more polished look than a basic cotton sundress. It sits above mass-market linen dresses on fabric and finish, and below designer labels on formality.
