Magic linen dresses are a popular choice among fashion-forward individuals who appreciate the timeless elegance and unique properties of linen fabric. These dresses not only provide comfort and style but also have a touch of magic that sets them apart from other clothing options. One of the remarkable features of linen fabric is its breathability. Unlike synthetic materials, linen allows air to circulate freely, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable even in hot weather. This makes linen dresses an ideal choice for summer events or destinations with a warm climate. Furthermore, linen possesses natural moisture-wicking properties, which means that it can quickly absorb and release sweat.

DIY Lighted Witch Hat (Grandin Road Inspired)
Years ago in a cold-and-dark-wintered land called Connecticut, my babes bought a trio of lighted grapevine cone trees from BJs Wholesale Club. For the next several holiday seasons, those glittering cone trees adorned various nooks and corners around The Navage Patch v1.0, indoors and out. At $50 for the trio, it was a bargain, and we got good use out of them, but after a time (and especially after displaying them indoors), they just became a glittery nuisance.
If there is one inviolable rule in the craftiverse, it is that glitter can, will, and must shed from wherever it is applied. There is no glue in the known universe that can hold it, no adhesive strong enough to contain the infinite power of a single speck of glitter. And when freed upon the world – whether onto a wood or carpeted floor or onto a hand or in the hair – there exists no vacuum powerful enough to inhale it nor any soap or surfactant powerful enough to draw it from the body.
So it was no surprise, really, when our glitter-encrusted triumvirate began divesting themselves of their tiny golden sparkles. By Winter Solstice, the glitter had spread throughout the house.
We endured the sparkling onslaught for the first few years, taking it all in stride. It was the Christmas season after all, and we were supposed to be brimming with good cheer and kind thoughts and goodwill towards all men, women and children.
But that glitter…
It just wouldn’t go away…
Good cheer turned to grumbling as we wrestled mightily with something so small, it didn’t have a measurable mass.
Finally, in our last winter in Connecticut, my babes had had enough and sentenced the offending cone trees to life in contractor bags until such time as she could think of some way to upcycle them.
And thus began their journey.
From Connecticut, they made their way south to Georgia where they continued to serve out their plastic-bound sentence.
And just recently, one of the three made its way from Georgia to Florida.
If there is one thing that amazes me about Handan (in fact there are many), it is her determination to pack and move…well, junk, not to put too fine a point on it, from city to city and state to state just because she knows she’ll eventually find a use for it!
Were it up to me, those three cones would be moldering in a Connecticut landfill right now. But it wasn’t up to me, and now we’ve got another cool upcycled project for you!
As happens at least once a year, my babes got her inspiration for this particular project from the Grandin Road Halloween Haven catalog. Sometime in July or early August, the first of many Halloween Haven catalogs appears in our mailbox, and Handan devours it from cover to cover. When she saw their Lighted Grapevine Witch Hat, she tore out the page and stuck it to the fridge with a yellow magnet advertising the many wonders of Abu Dhabi.
When the next Halloween Haven arrived, it had a different image of the same product. She tore that one and and hung it next to the previous one.
Long before we packed up Baris and shipped him off to Virginia Tech, my babes was showing me the plan out on our deck. I did a lot of head-nodding and general understanding. Cone trees and grapevine wreaths (of which we have many squirreled away from previous years) seemed to be the gist of it.
And I was gonna do it. I was gonna start.
But you know how it goes, madam! There was this thing and that thing oh and that other thing over there that demanded my full attention, and I just truly didn’t have a moment to spare for the glitter-infested cones!
Truth, madam, when we discovered we were moving, I breathed an inward sigh of relief.
Surely that meant that this sparkly boondoggle was DOA, and I wouldn’t have to worry about transporting all that glitter across state lines!
Indeed not. One of the cones and several grapevine wreath forms were (and I’m not making this up) among the very first items loaded into the U-Haul.

Reviews for "The art of layering with magic linen dresses"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic linen dresses. The quality was not at all what I expected. The material felt cheap and was very uncomfortable to wear. Additionally, the fit was all wrong. The dress was too tight in some areas and too loose in others. Overall, I would not recommend these dresses.
- John - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Magic linen dresses. The colors faded significantly after just one wash and the fabric started to fray. The stitching was also poorly done, with loose threads in many areas. It's a shame because the design of the dresses was quite nice, but the poor quality ruins it. Save your money and look elsewhere for linen dresses.
- Emily - 2 stars - The Magic linen dresses were a huge disappointment. The sizing was completely off, with the dress being much too long for my petite frame. The material also wrinkled easily and required constant ironing. It was not the effortless, breezy dress I had hoped for. Additionally, the customer service was unhelpful when I reached out about returning the dress. Overall, I would not recommend these dresses based on my experience.
