The Leo Embroidered Shirtdress by ALÉMAIS radiates bold summer energy through colour, craftsmanship and print.
Cut from breathable European linen, it features an oversized floral motif in sunset hues of ochre, coral, and sky blue, brought to life on a vivid yellow base.
A contemporary take on the classic shirtdress, it’s tailored to a relaxed, midi-length silhouette with a button-through front, short kimono sleeves, and a self-tie belt that cinches the waist for subtle structure. Signature embroidered patch pockets, depicting delicate birds and flowers, add artisanal charm and dimension to the piece.
Perfect for warm-weather escapes, this lightweight linen dress can be styled with sandals for day or elevated with statement jewellery for evening.

Synthesising her Lebanese heritage and over twenty years of experience in the fashion industry, founder Lesleigh Jermanus, exerts generational creative expression to manifest the vibrant designs of ALÉMAIS. Launched in 2020, the reaction to the curated selection of superlative women’s apparel was immediate–the brand gained a cult-following of women devoted to the label’s sustainable marriage of wearable, feminine designs and unique storytelling.
The Australian label adopts an artisanal approach to stylish compositions with elements of tradition used to champion craft and techniques that make each style feel like a true work of art. The brand re-contextualises historical references in the modern wardrobe, looking to the past to inform the future. Take ALÉMAIS’ classic shirt dresses as the perfect example; simplistic in form but elevated using colour, print, texture, and fabric. Natural textiles, hand-crafted embroideries, and exaggerated shapes heighten each collection.
Eschewing the ordinary, ALÉMAIS champions an eclectic, highly saturated aesthetic that results in women’s dresses and separates that make their wearer feel chic, on every occasion. Jermanus and her team marry a distinctly romantic femininity with a playful vacation-ready ease that makes each and every piece feel exclusive and unique.
ALÉMAIS champions sustainability, generating collections primarily utilising hemp, ramie, organic cotton, and European linen–all environmentally conscious, natural materials that are progressive. ALÉMAIS is an authority in the fashion industry making superior, long lasting, sophisticated fashion forward choices that are better for you, and the planet.
