Modern Blockprinted Cotton Light Brown Long Dress (Last Piece Available)

What is the print on the Modern dress?

The dress has a soft taupe base with coral-peach flowers on grey stems, block printed all over. The palette is warm and muted, so the florals look gentle rather than loud, and the medium motif size keeps the print easy to wear for both work and weekends.

How is the dress shaped?

It has a buttoned placket at the front and a gathered waist, so the skirt falls in soft folds from the waistline. This gives a relaxed but defined shape. The length is 44 inches and the sleeves are three-quarter length.

Will mul cotton keep me cool?

Yes. Mul is a fine, lightweight cotton that lets air through and feels soft on the skin, so the dress is comfortable in heat and humidity. It is a good everyday choice for summer, travel and long hours at a desk.

How do I wash it?

Handwash gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately. Avoid soaking, wringing or harsh detergents, and dry it in the shade so the coral-peach flowers and grey stems stay clear. Iron it on the reverse if needed to protect the print.

Can the print vary?

Yes, a little. Every dress is hand block printed, so small shifts in alignment, colour depth or motif spacing are natural. These are signs of the handwork and mean your dress may differ slightly from the one pictured.

What goes with the taupe and coral tones?

Warm accessories suit it: tan sandals, a cane or leather bag and gold or wooden jewellery. For the office, a cream or camel overshirt or jacket works over it, and a coral or peach lipstick ties into the flowers.
