Son de Flor pr gifted // All thoughts and opinions are, of course, my own.
Son de Flor had been popping up on my feed for ages, showcasing these beautiful linen garments in a variety of ways so when I saw they were open to collaborating with people I of course reached out straight away. In the summer of 2022 my first Son de Flor dress arrived in the mail and it has been worn a lot ever since. It was the red classic dress which has been with me for trips to Lithuania, Sweden and around Scotland and I’m sure we’ll have many more adventures together. I really love how the Son de Flor community is such a lovely space on Instagram as well. Full of women who inspire and support each other and they have a relaxed and calm presence on social media, which is a well-needed energy in an environment that can be full of stress, prestige and false pretense. When it comes to Son de Flor sizing I’d recommend comparing your measurements on the sizing charts on the website, and bear in mind that they can differ between garments.
Below you’ll find more of a review of each of the dresses I’ve tried and some photos of them. As I take more shots I’ll update this post with more as well!
Red Classic Dress with short sleeves
Can you tell I love wearing red?
The Classic dress has a lovely full skirt, Peter Pan collar, size zipper and buttons in the front.
I wear a size XXL as that’s what suited my bust measurement the best. Nothing worse than gaping buttons, so I’d rather choose a larger size and be safe. It does mean that the waist is slightly larger than needed, but I still think it has a lovely shape – and I mean there are always belts – so that actually bothers me less that I thought it might. The larger size also means I can comfortable move my arms, as I’ve noticed that if I size down arm movement become more restricted. I could potentially also just take in the side seam but I love how comfortable it is now so I probably won’t.
In the winter I like to wear my knitted Wrap Me Up Cardigan with this dress as the white and red looks so lovely together.
Son de Flor x Shirinatra Enola Dress in Night Navy
Double breasted, adjustable waist and twirly skirt? Yes please!
The Enola dress has been created in a collaboration between Son de Flor and creator Shirinatra (who just happens to be one of my favourite accounts to follow on Instagram). When I saw this dress on her account – I believe it was in a shoot which was Mary Poppins inspired – I immediately was drawn to it and added it to my wish list. You can just imagine how excited I was when Son de Flor reached out to ask if I would be interested to collaborate with them again and saw that this dress was available for me to pick! And it’s living up to my expectations and has quickly become a favourite in my wardrobe. It has a double breasted design, long sleeves and in the back there are two button so that you can adjust the waist size, which is great for me as I tend to have measurements that don’t align with size charts so I always pick the bigger size and try to adjust the waist but for this dress I don’t have to.
I also think it will look so cute with my white Emmy Design cardigan, a white blouse underneath or some stays.
Son de Flor Black Pinafore Dress
Who doesn’t like a pinafore dress with a full skirt?
The best thing about a pinafore is that you can wear it on its own but also have so many styling options with tops you can wear underneath or on top. Apparently I like wearing this dress with a grey long sleeves top, as it’s in all the photos I can find from the past few months. I’m wearing an XL which has a nice snugger fit over the bust and is perfect in the waist.
You can see the swirl-ability in the reel below as well!
Gaia Wrap Dress 3/4 sleeve in Marsala Red
Here we have another red creation, but this time in a cooler and slightly darker shade called Marsala Red. It is from the SS25 collection and it’s such a wonderful everyday dress. The red colour makes me feel so pretty and both the wrap design and 3/4 sleeves are design features I really like. I got a size XXL as I didn’t want to risk it having too little coverage over the bust but since it’s a tie waist I can still cinch the waist to my liking, whilst still making it comfortable. As I’m 160cm tall (or short) the length of the dress fits me like a midi, which is the same for the black pinafore and red classic dress for example.
I love to style this dress with my stays from Cottagecore Wear.
Black Classic Dress with long sleeves
I do like a long sleeve and I feel like this is the perfect witchy meets cottage core dress to wear year round and can easily be styled with stays as well.
This dress is just like the red classic dress above, but with longer sleeves instead of short. Quite self-explanatory in its name.
In this dress I’m wearing an XL which works just fine with the buttons of the bust and is slightly more narrow in the waist, but it’s also a tad more restricting in arm movement over the shoulders.
