Our new Emelia dress is like an old friend coming to visit.

She is comfortable, forgiving and requires no effort from you to look good.

Reworked from a pattern we created when The Old Railway first opened its doors in 2011, this easy free size silhouette has dropped shoulders to accommodate different wearers and can be worn buttoned as a dress or open as a duster style jacket.

The neat Sri Lankan style collar and covered button placket make this a step up from just a casual day dress and the side split makes paring with trousers easy. The Emelia dress looks great worn with a belt, over trousers and a vest and layered with tights and boots and a long sleeve jersey underneath.

A fabulous addition to any wardrobe in any climate. Timeless and versatile. Welcome back Emelia!
