Here are Australian (and Australia-friendly) places to shop linen resortwear and summer dresses, with short notes on style, price range and why they’re worth checking. I’ve included a mix of specialist linen labels, Australian fashion brands known for summer/resort pieces, and large retailers/marketplaces where you can browse many linen options.

Top places to shop

• The Iconic — large Aussie online marketplace that stocks many Australian brands (Saba, Veil of Faith, M.N.G, Nude Lucy and more); good for fast delivery/returns and lots of linen dress options in one place. (theiconic.com.au)
  Price range: low–mid–high depending on brand.

• Biome — sustainable/eco-focused label and retailer with a curated selection of linen dresses and casual resortwear. Good if you want natural-fibre, ethical options. (biome.com.au)
  Price range: mid.

• Esther & Co. — Australian shop with a strong linen collection (minimialist, neutral resort styles and casual linen dresses). Good for basics and everyday linen pieces. (esther.com.au)

• International but popular options: Reformation — known for linen dresses and often ships to Australia; a good source if you want trending linen minis and midis seen on fashion sites. (whowhatwear.com)

How to use these sites

• If you want lots of choices quickly: search The Iconic, Oxford Shop or multi-brand boutiques (they aggregate many Australian labels). (theiconic.com.au)
• If you prioritise sustainability: check Biome, Bassike and specialist linen brands. (biome.com.au)
• If you want trend-led resort pieces/patterns: look at Spell, Zimmermann, Nude Lucy, AJE. (news.com.au)

Practical tips when buying linen/resortwear

• Fabric: look for “100% linen” for breathability, or “linen blend” if you want less wrinkling and more drape. Product pages usually list fibre content. (theiconic.com.au)
• Fit: stretch is rare in pure linen — check measurements and consider sizing up if you prefer looser fits. Product pages often note fit guidance. (theiconic.com.au)
• Care: linen softens with washes but wrinkles easily — check care instructions; many recommend gentle wash or hand wash. (Care details are on product pages.) (theiconic.com.au)

If you’d like, I can:

• Narrow this to only Australian small designers or only sustainable brands.
• Pull current linen dress listings (with photos/prices) from a couple of the above retailers so you can compare styles and prices now.
