The Lucy Dress is the ultimate in stylish ease and versatility - so relaxed, cool and comfortable. It's suits women of different ages, shapes and sizes and is still a best seller after all these years. The ultimate fit for hot weather but also plenty of room to add layers when the temperature drops.
- Slightly loose, free shape with much care taken to finesse the fit ensuring a flattering form that isn't voluminous or boxy.
- Relaxed fit, sits off the body.
- Nips in slightly at just the right spot on the waist and lower back but still drapes over the tummy - not babydoll or drop waist.
- V neck.
- Pull over style - no zipper.
- Soft cap sleeves without an inset seam for ease of movement and flexibility in shoulder size.
- Softly gathered skirt, that's floaty but not too full.
- Hem falls just on/above the knee.
- Pockets in the side seams.
Made from genuine vintage cotton fabric in excellent preloved condition. It has a slightly faded patina and washed touch. Cold hand wash or machine wash in a wash bag on delicates cycle using mild phosphate free detergent. No need to iron, just dry on a coathanger.
One or few of a kind. Hand cut in my studio and sewn by a small business in Sydney’s inner west.
