Ivory Belted Midi Coat, Linea

The Linea Belted Midi Coat in Ivory is a midi coat in a textured technical polyester, single-breasted with 3 buttons, a wide notch lapel, 2 flap pockets, a self-fabric belt with a black buckle at the natural waist, and a full Bemberg lining. The hem finishes at mid-calf. It is built as the travel coat: it comes out of the carry-on ready to be photographed, with wrinkle recovery, a structured drape, and an ivory that stays clean across heavy travel quarters.

Fabric
Technical polyester chosen over wool for this silhouette. Wool at midi length crushes in the seatback, takes hours to recover after a 6-hour flight, and discolors in ivory across years of travel. This cloth comes out of the carry-on smooth, holds its line through a full day of meetings, and keeps the ivory clean across hundreds of wearings. Full Bemberg breathable lining at the body and sleeves, with hand-finished interior seams. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia.

Fit
True to size, with a shoulder cut precisely enough to sit cleanly over a tailored blazer. The belt pulls in for a defined waist, or the coat is worn open. The sleeve clears a blazer cuff by 1/2 inch. The hem sits at mid-calf. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer fit or the larger for more room to layer. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2. The length is 48” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.

Styling
For mother of the bride at a spring or summer wedding, over the Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress in Midnight Blue for the arrival, then off for the ceremony.
For Italian coastal and destination wedding arrivals, over the Jody Lace A-Line Dress in Ivory, ivory on ivory.
For executive separates, over the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory with the Agatha High Waisted Wide Leg Pants in Ivory for head-to-toe ivory.
For warm-weather arrivals, open over the Aria Short-Sleeve Blouse in White for soft-formal dressing.
Silver and rose gold both read clean with ivory; hold 1 metal across all hardware.

Care
Dry clean only. Spot-treat marks within 24 hours; ivory shows wear faster than darker colors whatever the fiber. Steam to refresh between wears; the cloth responds well to steam. Steam or iron on low if needed. Hang on a wide padded hanger. Cedar bags during off-season storage. Do not bleach.

What to wear it over

At 48 inches measured from the back of the neck on a size 2, the Linea ends at mid calf, with a slight A-line skirt and a buckled belt. Its shoulder is cut to sit cleanly over a tailored blazer, and the third photo shows it worn open over a knee length knit dress. It runs 2 inches past the Black Elegant Midi Dress, Rina ($595), whose white piping sits close to the ivory. Over the Ivory Maxi Dress, Rebeka ($670) the last 7 inches of chiffon show below the coat, and the gown and the coat come from the same Pozarevac atelier.
