Bold • Artisan • Confidently Collected

A statement dress that feels like wearable art, inspired by traditional craftsmanship and made for women who appreciate beautiful details.

The Hinoki Journal

Some dresses don't whisper. They quietly command the room.

The Susan Embroidered Dress is one of those pieces.

Rich berry tones create the perfect canvas for striking black embroidery that feels rooted in traditional artisan techniques while remaining undeniably modern. Every embroidered panel, geometric trim, and botanical motif has been thoughtfully placed, giving the dress an architectural quality that feels both bold and incredibly refined.

What we love most is the balance. The dramatic embroidery makes a statement, while the clean silhouette keeps it wearable. The matching embroidered belt defines the waist beautifully, oversized sleeves add softness and movement, and hidden pockets make it feel as practical as it is beautiful.

This is the kind of dress you'll wear when you want people to ask where you found it. It feels equally at home wandering an art museum, hosting friends for dinner, traveling through a new city, or attending an event where you want to feel polished without looking overdressed.

At Hinoki, we love clothing that feels like it has a story before you've even worn it. The Susan is exactly that. Timeless craftsmanship paired with modern styling creates a piece you'll reach for year after year.

Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki

At Hinoki, we believe clothing should feel collected rather than consumed.

The Susan Dress immediately stood out because of its extraordinary embroidery. In person, the craftsmanship is even more impressive than photographs can capture. It feels like an heirloom piece you'll continue discovering new details in every time you wear it.

Hinoki Fit Notes

This dress runs slightly fitted through the hips.

If you have fuller hips or a curvier figure, we recommend sizing up one size for the most comfortable fit. The belt allows you to define the waist, so sizing up still creates a beautiful silhouette while giving you a bit more room where you want it.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

This dress is even more breathtaking in person than it is in photos. The embroidery has incredible texture and depth that you really have to see to appreciate.

I usually tie the included belt a little looser and gently blouse the dress over it to create a softer, more flattering shape through the waist. It gives the dress an effortless feel while still highlighting all of that beautiful embroidery.

For everyday, I'd wear it with leather sandals or simple flats and minimal jewelry because the dress really is the statement. When you're headed somewhere special, swap in heeled boots or block heels and bold gold jewelry for a look that feels sophisticated, artistic, and completely unforgettable.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Beautiful embroidery deserves a little extra love.

We recommend hand washing or using a delicate cold cycle inside a garment bag to help preserve the intricate embroidered details. Lay flat or hang to dry and steam gently if needed. With thoughtful care, this piece will remain a standout in your wardrobe for years to come.
