The Art of Hand Dip-Dyeing

Each Santorini begins as a pristine ivory silk base, lined through the upper bodice for effortless structure. Over several days, our artisans carefully dip the silk chiffon into rich black tones, allowing the colour to absorb gradually, fading into soft blush and ivory in a signature ombré effect. A second dip deepens the contrast, adding drama and depth to the hand-crafted pattern. No two dresses are identical. Yours will be entirely your own.

Design & Details

Fluid, flattering and unmistakably Lindsey Brown resort wear, our Santorini silk maxi dress is cut in three flowing tiers that move beautifully without adding volume through the waist. Adjustable silk shoulder ties allow you to customise the fit and silhouette, while the shaped bodice softly skims the waist and hips for elegant movement and a flattering fit.

Crafted in lightweight silk chiffon with a lined upper body for added comfort and coverage, the Santorini dress is designed to feel effortless, feminine and timeless to wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the black Santorini available in plus sizes?

Yes, this version of the black Santorini silk maxi dress is cut for a 2XLarge (UK18 / US14 / EU50). The three-tier flowing skirt and adjustable shoulder ties mean the dress moves beautifully at every size, and the shaped bodice is lined to the thigh for added comfort and coverage.

How does the plus size black Santorini dress fit?

The Santorini has a shaped upper bodice lined to the mid thigh, with a relaxed, flared skirt from the waist down. The adjustable silk shoulder straps and tie-front neckline allow you to customise the fit to your height and coverage preference. The three-tier skirt adds fullness from the waist rather than the hips, making it particularly flattering for pear-shaped and curvier figures. If you are larger busted, we suggest sizing up for more room through the bodice.

Can you wear a sleeveless black maxi dress to a wedding?

Absolutely yes, and the black Santorini silk maxi dress is one of the most stylish choices you could make for a summer wedding abroad. The flowing ombré silk in black, blush and ivory has an effortless elegance that feels both dressy and relaxed in warm weather. Style it with rose gold accessories, a statement metallic clutch bag, block heels and bold earrings, for a look that is polished, confident and completely unforgettable.

Can the black Santorini dress be worn two ways?

Yes, one of the signature features of Lindsey Brown resort wear is that many dresses can be reversed. The Santorini dress can be worn front to back, moving the adjustable ties to the back for a different neckline and look.

What is hand dip-dyeing on silk?

Hand dip-dyeing is a traditional artisan technique where the finished silk dress is carefully submerged into dye over several days. On the black Santorini, rich black tones are drawn gradually upwards through the silk chiffon, fading into soft blush and ivory to create the signature ombré effect. A second dip deepens the contrast. Because every dress is dipped by hand, no two are identical.
