Most often than not, the linen sheath dress do not come as plain. In most cases they are embroidered either at the hemline, or somewhere on the collar.

Those were the days. Simple accessories will do with a linen dress because of the embroidery.PantsAnybody who knows what fashion is all about owns a linen pant.
