Grab your Wovens
Lynette is designed with woven fabrics in mind. Choose from lightweight fabrics like linen, double gauze, seersucker, challis, viscose, voile, muslin, lightweight flannels, etc. Fabrics with excellent drape like rayon challis will work best, especially for the top option. More structured fabrics like poplin will have a boxier look than intended and tend to tent out at the front and back, as well as appear shorter.
How to Style Your Lynette
Wear your Lynette dress on its with some simple accessories, or pair with other PSCO patterns. Mix and match prints and solids for fun or classic looks. Layer the dress over leggings, bike shorts, or tights for more coverage, or pair it with knee high socks and lean into the babydoll shape. Follow the western vibes and pair the top with your favorite denim jeans, skirts, or shorts.
