Set of dress, belt & bow.


A pastel beauty in the most darling shade of Mint Green. An optical effect created by the textured weave of matte pale greenish-yellow and shiny pastel blue threads.

 

This dress convinces with its versatility! It comes with both(!) a matching belt as well as a wonderful bow that can be attached to the front of the dress by a metal snap button*. Create a more leisure look with the belt by pairing it with a cardigan, a nice Straw hat and some classic pearls or choose the bow look for dinner, cocktails, to a garden party. a wedding or afternoon tea. You could even opt for the belted look and use the bow for your hairstyle, pin it to a cardigan or bag at the same time. Needless to say, this dress can be paired with so many of your favorite colors - endless options for your perfect look!

 

The dress is made of a medium-weight, beautifully draping Cotton-Rayon fabric and features a hand-pleated skirt section, short Dolman sleeves, an oval neckline and formed bust darts for that ultimate mid-century silhouette. Bra stays on the inside shoulder seam will keep your bra straps in place at any time.

 

Lined bodice. Back, lapped metal zipper. Skirt unlined. Authentic invisibly (hand-) sewn hems, facings and details all-over. Classic midi length (see sizing table) or custom length. Dress shown with a light petticoat - not included.

 

* The belt features a metal snap back as well to be attached to the dress. This way, it is ensured that when using the belt instead of the bow, the metal snap element on the dress cannot peek at any time when moving. It furthermore, keeps the belt centered at any time. In order to wear this dress beautiful in both options, this model does not feature hand-crochet belt loops to maintain a sleek and seamless look when the bow is worn.
