Linen Patchwork Dress

Fine pintucks at the neckline add a soft accent to this slip-on dress, which features a compact shoulder line and gently voluminous sleeves.

At 45R, our approach to craftsmanship is rooted in respect for every material—we carefully preserve fabric remnants left over from the cutting process, guided by the spirit of mottainai" (waste nothing).

Because linen has a tendency to shift due to its smooth texture, we take extra care in laying each piece precisely. Scraps of various shapes are trimmed into squares and sewn together one by one. The result is a thoughtfully composed expression of India’s traditional Madras check—an homage to both resourcefulness and beauty. This dress embodies 45R’s Japanese craftsmanship, where every step of the process honors the fabric, tradition, and the stories woven into each thread.
