It`s time for some swinging tassels...

 

One dress & two scarves = three different looks. Wear this dress without the scarf, with the neutral scarf or with the tassel scarf! A staple for your wardrobe in shades of vibrant Red, Chocolate Brown and Creme. 

 

Imagine this dress in Summer with beautiful flower accessories, in Autumn with shades of Brown, Burgundy and a beret, in Spring with White accessories and the neutral scarf or for Winter with a black cardigan and the black tassel scarf  - the options are endless.

 

This dress can be ordered on a short sleeved version (Dolman sleeves without cuffs to go perfectly under a cardigan) or a longer 7/8 length Dolman sleeve version (see animated photo/sample soon available). It is made of a pure Cotton fabric and features a V-neckline in the front and back, a full gathered skirt, formed waist and bust darts for that ultimate midcentury silhouette as well as a back, lapped metal zipper. Lined bodice. Matching belt included (hand-crochet belt loops).

 

The dress comes with two matching scarves - a neutral one (no tassels) and one that features inky Black tassels on its ends. They serve as a perfect companion for transitioning seasons as it covers the neck and back even more (V-back to fully cover the back neckline). A beautiful option to transform the dress into a completely new style.

 

Authentic invisibly (hand-) sewn hems, facings and details all-over. Classic midi length (see sizing table) or custom length (Free of charge 0,00CHF).  Hidden pockets on request (choose from customization list). Dress shown with a petticoat, vintage hat - for style inspiration only, not included.

 

Combine the look with the matching Tassel Hat for the ultimate ensemble look or one of Prettie Lanes Felt Half Hats (best color match for Off-White, Chocolate, Signal Red, Black) or the Red Straw Hat "French Daisy".
