The dresses that sell out first. Our checkered and seersucker dresses are made from hemp seersucker and organic cotton in in-house yarn-dyed check prints - signature Afends styles available in mini, midi and maxi lengths that have become year-round best sellers for good reason.

Hemp seersucker check - the signature fabric

Hemp seersucker is the fabric that defines this collection. The natural puckered texture of seersucker comes from the way the yarn is woven - alternating tension creates the characteristic crinkle that gives the fabric its structure, breathability and visual texture. When yarn-dyed in check patterns, the result is a fabric that's distinctive without being loud. It softens and improves with each wash, making these dresses some of the most rewarding pieces in the range to own over time.

Mini, midi and maxi lengths in check

The check and seersucker range covers all three dress lengths. Mini styles like the Jesse and the Grace for warm days and easy casual wear. Midi styles like the Elodie - the a-line hemp seersucker midi with a high neck and removable waist tie - for a more considered everyday look. Maxi styles like the Tully - the yarn-dyed check maxi with a v-neckline and removable waist tie that works alone in summer or layered in cooler months. Each length in a range of check colourways including navy, coffee, steel, black, green and seasonal tones.

Why check dresses sell out

The check and seersucker styles consistently outsell the rest of the dresses range because they sit in a specific space: distinctive enough to be interesting, neutral enough to work across most wardrobes. The yarn-dyed construction means the print is woven into the fabric rather than printed onto it - it doesn't fade, crack or wash out over time. Combined with the natural durability of hemp, these are dresses that look as good after a year of wearing as they did when you first got them.
