This new design is all about simple, casually elegant form and happy, interesting print. I feel amazing every time I wear mine! It's perfect for Autumn on warm days with sandals or sneakers but this style will also be beautiful when the temp drops, worn with a cardigan or denim jacket and some ankle boots.

Rayon which has a very soft silky drape and flow. Genuine vintage fabric in mint condition.
Handwash or gentle machine wash on delicates cycle in a wash bag using a phosphate free detergent. Low spin and dry on a coat hanger.
*Please note: Rayon retracts after washing, which means it doesn't shrink but the fibres draw in tighter. So it can feel smaller until you steam or iron it and the flow, softness and drape returns. Ironing is not essential but if you find that the small amount of retraction affects how you like the fit, then you might want to give it a quick press or steam.
One or few of a kind. Handmade ethically and locally in Sydney’s inner west.
