Style Guide: Wearing Our Cult Bestselling Luna Dress
The Luna Dress has become one of those pieces our community comes back to again and again. It’s loved for its comfort, its versatility, and the fact that no two are ever the same. If you’ve ever wondered how to style it, adjust it, or make it work for different bodies and seasons, this guide is for you!
What Makes the Luna Dress So Special?
Each Luna Dress is crafted from beautiful recycled kantha fabrics by our trusted production partners in India. Every dress takes three kantha blankets to complete, making each one a true labour of love and completely one of a kind.
The Luna is relaxed but put together, designed intentionally with functionality and aesthetic in mind. Long or short sleeves offer coverage without feeling heavy, the deep V neckline creates an easy, flattering shape, and the drawstring waist lets you choose how fitted or free you want it to feel. The flowing maxi skirt features small side splits for movement and hidden pockets, because practicality always matters.
This is a dress designed to adapt to you, not the other way around.
How to Wear the Luna Dress Your Way
One of the most loved features of the Luna Dress is the adjustable drawstring waist. It allows you to change the shape of the dress depending on your body, your mood, or the occasion.
You can cinch the drawstring to create more definition through the waist, or leave it loose for a relaxed, floaty silhouette. This makes the Luna Dress a favourite for a wide range of body types, personal style aesthetics and seasons of life.
We’ve included a short video in this post that shows exactly how to adjust the drawstring along with some ways to wear the Luna Dress so you can see how it moves and drapes in real life.
Styling the Luna Dress Casually
For everyday, Luna is effortless. Pair it with flat sandals, boots, or sneakers, depending on the season. Layer with a lace bralette for some cute texture, or with a cosy cardigan and leggings for cooler days.
Because kantha fabric is full of colour and texture, you don’t need to overthink accessories. If you like easy dressing, you can let the dress do the talking and keep everything else simple. And let's be honest, who doesn't love the simplicity of a one-and-done outfit that still makes you feel a little bit special.
Dressing the Luna Up or Down
Luna transitions beautifully from day to night - add a scarf or layers of jewellery to elevate the look. Boots or platform slides instantly change the feel without sacrificing comfort.
It’s also a great option for travel or long days where you want to feel put together without feeling restricted.
Fit, Feel and Movement
The Luna Dress is designed to feel easy and breathable. The kantha fabric softens over time, becoming even more comfortable with every wear.
And because each piece is made from recycled textiles, colour placement and patterns will vary on every single dress. This is part of what makes every Luna Dress unique.
We also now make the Luna in recycled muslin sari cotton, without our signature kantha stitching. Muslin cotton gives a different look and feel to the flow of the fabric, and offers a lighter-weight garment.
A Dress Made for Real Life
We’re often asked to show our clothing on different body types and ages, and the Luna Dress is one of the most universally loved pieces across our community. It’s forgiving, adjustable, and designed to work with your body rather than against it.
If you’re looking for a dress you can style multiple ways, wear across seasons, and keep reaching for year after year, the Luna Dress has earned its cult status for a reason.
