Based in Montreal but formerly of Vancouver Island, Eliza Faulkner's eponymous fashion label began with linen dresses handmade in her living room. The operation has since grown in the last 10 years and evolved into a full ready-to-wear brand with jackets, tops, bottoms, and accessories but all with the same signature whimsy that she has become known for.

Black linen may seem counterintuitive, but that's only true if you plan to spend the entire day in the sunlight. This adjustable dress from Eliza Faulkner is a no-brainer for warm summer days, especially if you're working from an office.

If you want a linen dress in your closet that feels dramatic rather than overly-simplified, consider this pick from Eliza Faulkner. The collar! The bow-front design! The voluminous shape! I love it all.
