Elegance, comfort, and a bit of edge, are the words I had in mind while designing the Take Me On Maxi Shirt Dress.

Made from a mid-weight linen/cotton blend fabric in a stunning romantic and neutral floral print (that reminded me of one of my favourite 80s videos, Take On Me by A-ha). We used a contrasting black cotton in the collar, button panel and piping along the tier to make a statement.

Some other thoughtful features include pintucks in the front for shaping, with a small elastic section at the back waist for flexibility and comfort. Short sleeves and shoulder detailing provide a balanced silhouette and keep you cooler on warmer days. Let's not forget pockets - large enough for your phone, and there is a generous amount of fabric in this dress that offers lots of volume and twirling potential!

Whether you're strolling through the gardens, having a picnic, attending a wedding or outdoor event, or just enjoying a day out with friends, this dress will have you feeling confident and chic with every wear.

Limited Edition: We can only make 4–5 dresses with this gorgeous floral print. If you miss out, but are drawn to this style, don't worry - it's here to stay! I am keeping my eye on some cool colour combinations in similar fabrics so that we can customise one just for you. Please don't be shy about reaching out and letting me know what you're looking for... I'm always happy to collaborate on something you need and will love for a long time!

Styling Ideas (click for details)

Dress it up with a pair of heels, wedges, or strappy sandals in the warmer weather. In the cooler months, you can layer a black polo neck underneather, unbutton the bottom of the dress and show off a pair of black knee high boots or ankle length sock boots.

If you like to create dramatic looks, consider buttoning only the top half of the dress, and pairing it with wide-leg pants or jeans on the bottom.

Garment Care (click for details)

Machine wash with whites or like colours on a delicate cycle in cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.

To maintain the shape and drape of the fabric, lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry. Iron inside out, on warm setting. If needed, mist with water to smooth out the wrinkles.

Note: Linen is resistant to odours and bacteria, and doesn't need to be washed too often.

FAQs (click for details)

Is Mad Nomad a plus sized brand?

We currently offer sizes ranging from 12-26 (NZ/AUS). While some may classify this range as “plus size”, we simply see them as sizes for women. I decided to start with this range because I believe these sizes are often overlooked in the market and deserve attention. In the future, I’d like Mad Nomad’s size range to expand to include sizes 6-30. However, we’re taking a slow approach to make sure we nail the perfect fit of our current range before doing so.

 

How do I know what my size is?

I recommend referring to our size guide (link located under the price of each product), which provides detailed measurements for each size. Please don’t rely on traditional “plus sizes”, as our range is quite different. Given the variation in sizing across brands, I encourage you to go by your own measurements. (You can download my measuring guide HERE.)

As someone relatively new to the sustainability side of the fashion industry, I’m constantly learning. I am committed to staying informed about new, innovative materials and processes to continually improve our practices.
