Resplendent Blockprinted Cotton Long Dress (Last Piece Available)

What does the hem border look like?

Mustard floral bands frame a white panel at the hem, one band above the panel and one at the edge. They give the bottom of the dress a strong, warm border and balance the peach and yellow florals above.

Which colours suit the warm palette?

The cream base, peach and yellow flowers and green leaves make a warm, sunny palette. Gold or brass jewellery, tan or mustard footwear and a rust or olive bag all sit comfortably with it. Icy blues next to it can make the cream look dull.

How does mul cotton feel?

Mul is a fine, soft cotton, and the dress has a light, matte look. At 44 inches long with three-quarter sleeves, it is easy to wear on warm days and suits long days of travel or work.

Will I see imperfections in the print?

You may see small irregularities, and they are expected. Each dress is hand block printed, so the motifs may sit slightly unevenly or vary in depth of colour. These are signs of handwork rather than defects.

Will the colours bleed in the wash?

Hand block prints can release a little colour in the early washes. Wash the dress separately with a mild detergent, avoid soaking, and dry it in the shade. This keeps the mustard and peach bright.

Can I layer it for cooler days?

Yes. A denim jacket, a cream or olive cardigan or a light shrug all work over three-quarter sleeves. Add closed shoes and it carries through cooler mornings or air-conditioned offices.
