Ribbon-tie dress - Olive/Lilac
Ribbon-tie dress - Olive/Lilac
A gorgeous variation on a daily style, elevated by special, feminine details.
A combination of our ribbon-tie top and full skirt, creating a carefree silhouette with dreamlike drape. Behind generous self-fabric ribbon ties lies a concealed button placket to keep everything in order, leading to a gathered drop waist. From these pleats blooms a plentiful skirt, complete as always with hidden but roomy pockets. Balloon sleeves easily compliment the texture and weight of generously draped linen, ending in a gathered stretch cuff for ease and indulgent fullness.
Please note this is a Made to order style and will be made within 2-3 weeks of placing your order.
Details:
Self-fabric adjustable ribbon ties
Hidden button placket to avoid gaping and retain clean lines
Generous balloon sleeves with a gathered elasticated cuff
Midi-length full skirt, gathered for volume
Hidden inseam pockets
OLIVE/LILAC GINGHAM
Pictured here in a gentle blend of pinkish-lilac and olive green; a combination that perfectly encapsulates summer, in tones reminiscent of feminine blooms and fresh-cut grass.
Eco Credentials
Flax is a strong plant best grown in northern Europe. It needs little to no fertilisers, and due to the local climate, little extra water. It doesn’t require many pesticides either, as it can grow in poor quality soil. The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tonnes of CO2. Every part of the plant is used, and what isn’t used to produce linen can be utilised to make linseed oil, paper, cattle feed, or even soap.
Linen is almost naturally organic. It’s completely biodegradable, recyclable, and due to its natural absorbency, requires less dye than cotton. Linen therefore scores high on the ecological chart.
Care Hand or machine wash on gentle setting using cold water. Do not tumble dry. Steam press on medium setting for a crisp finish, or hang dry and wear gently wrinkled for a lived-in look.
Manufacture
This garment will be carefully individually cut and sewn in small batches in our Oakham, Rutland design studio (England).
