Women's bohemian dress
The boho-chic dress by La Fée Maraboutée
The women's bohemian dress embodies a free-spirited, sun-kissed and naturally feminine look. With its flowing cut, prints and embroidered details, it suits sunny days as well as dressier occasions. At La Fée Maraboutée, it comes in long, short and midi lengths, with or without sleeves, in linen, cotton voile, eyelet embroidery or crochet knit. A boho-chic piece designed for moving, traveling and dancing.
What is a bohemian dress?
In the 19th century, the word “bohemian” described the free-spirited lives of artists. Its fashion story began later, in the 1970s, with boho style: loose dresses, natural fabrics, floral prints and travel-inspired details. The bohemian dress retains that spirit. It is recognizable by its flared or flowing cut, ruffles, embroidery and warm colors. More free-spirited than a country-style dress, it can be worn in the city, on holiday or for an occasion. This history explains its place in women's wardrobes: an easy-to-wear dress that doesn't restrict the silhouette. Today, bohemian style blends these original elements with more contemporary cuts. Dresses are more defined at the waist, prints more graphic and colors bolder. Yet the style stays true to its original idea: a comfortable piece that lets the body move freely and tells a story of travel. A smocked waist, gathered sleeves or a lace collar recall the peasant dresses that inspired it.
Different styles of bohemian dresses
The long bohemian dress
This style elongates the silhouette and moves with you. In printed voile or pointelle knit, it works for day or evening. The collection dedicated to the long bohemian dress brings together all the long styles.
The short bohemian dress
The short bohemian dress feels light and creates a more dynamic look. Flared, ruffled or gathered at the waist, it pairs with sandals in summer and ankle boots between seasons. A short V-neck dress elongates the torso, while an eyelet embroidery design adds a romantic touch. Easy to accessorize, the short bohemian dress can be worn on its own or under a light jacket, with sneakers for a more contemporary look. It's the short dress for warm days, weekends and holidays. When autumn arrives, layer it with a knitted cardigan and tights.
The bohemian midi dress
The midi dress strikes a balance between elegance and comfort. Its below-the-knee length suits many occasions. In broderie anglaise, cotton voile or a print, wear it with delicate sandals, loafers or ankle boots.
The floral and printed bohemian dress
The floral dress is a standout piece in the bohemian wardrobe. Floral prints, scarf prints or travel-inspired patterns give a look character. Wear a floral dress with simple accessories, a natural-fibre bag and a few pieces of jewellery. A floral print on a dark background makes for a between-season dress.
The broderie anglaise bohemian dress
Broderie anglaise adds a romantic, refined touch. On short or midi styles, the embroidery catches the light. A white or ecru bohemian dress in broderie anglaise is a summer classic, as are lace styles. It also comes in ochre, purple or dark green.
The linen bohemian dress
The linen bohemian dress has a natural, summery look. Breathable and slightly textured, linen keeps you comfortable on warm days. Wear a loose style with flat sandals and a basket bag, or a fitted version with heeled sandals for a summer ceremony.
The crochet bohemian dress
Crochet knit adds a handcrafted touch and enhances the bohemian feel. Short, in ecru or black, it is perfect for holidays and between seasons.
A chic bohemian dress for a wedding or ceremony
A long, flowing cut, delicate embroidery or a rich colour is all it takes to make a bohemian dress wedding-ready. For an outdoor ceremony, wear it with heeled sandals and a clutch. The selection of bohemian wedding guest dresses brings together the dressiest styles.
How to wear a bohemian dress from summer to autumn?
In summer, pair a long dress with flat sandals, a basket bag and a few pieces of gold jewellery. Wear a broderie anglaise dress with delicate sandals and a lightweight jacket, or a short dress with trainers and a soft bag. Espadrilles add a holiday feel.
In autumn, the bohemian dress moves into a new season without changing its style. Wear a long-sleeved bohemian dress with ankle boots, opaque tights and a denim or leather jacket. A long cardigan worn open over a printed midi dress extends the summer feeling. Long sleeves and three-quarter sleeves cover the arms without weighing down the silhouette.
Accessories define bohemian style. A straw or felt hat, depending on the season, stacked bracelets, gold earrings, a raffia bag or a soft leather bag: just a few pieces are enough to make the look your own. A braided belt defines the waist of a loose dress and changes its silhouette. To keep the look balanced, pair a bold print with understated accessories, or a plain dress with statement jewelry.
In winter, layer a knitted or long-sleeved bohemian dress over a fine sweater or turtleneck, and pair it with tall boots. Darker shades such as burgundy, brown and dark green then take the place of summer’s lighter colors.
Which bohemian dress should you choose for your body shape?
A bohemian dress suits every body shape, as long as you choose the right cut. A flared dress balances wider hips. A dress fitted at the waist, or with smocking, defines an hourglass silhouette. A straight-cut dress suits slim, elongated figures. A V-neck elongates the torso and neck. If you’re petite, a short flared dress or a long style fitted at the waist helps avoid a shortened look. An empire-line cut flatters a curvy figure, while a slightly fitted straight-cut dress suits an H-shaped silhouette. Length matters too: a midi dress that ends below the knee reveals the ankle and lengthens the leg, while a short dress shows off slim legs. Flowing cuts offer all-day comfort in larger sizes.
Bohemian dress colors and fabrics
Bohemian dresses embrace warm, natural colors: beige and white for a light look, black for a more urban feel, and orange, pink, green, purple or brown to add warmth to an outfit. When it comes to fabrics, organic cotton offers softness and comfort, natural fibers provide welcome coolness in summer, and Ecovero™ viscose brings fluidity and a pleasant feel. Cotton voile adds lightness, while knitwear adds texture. A viscose dress drapes softly. Lace and crochet enhance the handcrafted feel, while broderie anglaise adds a romantic touch. To help you choose, each product page lists the fabric composition and care instructions.
