Floral flowy dress in muslin and light viscose

A floral flowy dress is what we sew for the warm half of the year, in thin cotton muslin, lightweight viscose and smooth satin. Wrap fronts, flounced hems and loose skirts keep the fabric moving. The prints run from tiny roses to lilac blooms on white.

Packing for a week by the sea

Our white wrap maxi with a flower print is cut from muslin, and we picked that cloth for its lightness. This fine cotton breathes when the afternoon heat peaks. Pack flat sandals and a broad-brimmed hat to go with it, and keep the jewelry small, because flowers on a white ground are lively enough.

The pink floral maxi is lightweight viscose. It’s the one for an evening walk along the water, since the long hem shades your legs in the afternoon and a thin cardigan handles the breeze later. Its wrap shapes the waist and the V draws a long line, so the cut sits nicely on a fuller bust. A woven bag suits it, and so does a ribbon in your hair in one of the print’s colors. While you’re trying it on, set the wrap so the neckline doesn’t open when you turn or bend.

Picnics, parks and family lunches

Shorter days out call for a midi. One pink style has a flounce on the hem that moves with each step, a V-neck and a short sleeve. The print is busy already. Keep the shoes plain, like white sneakers, beige sandals or espadrilles.

What about summer evenings that turn cool? We make a white midi with lilac flowers and a long sleeve gathered into a cuff. A tie belt cinches the middle, and the hem ends in a flounce as well. Because the hem covers your knees, it’s fine for a christening in church and at a workplace that doesn’t insist on suits.

Garden weddings and dinners on a terrace

For a friend’s wedding we’d point you to the mint wrap midi. Thin gold earrings and a pale clutch dress it up. If the evening cools down, drape a white blazer over your shoulders. A denim jacket works with a flower print too. That pink maxi goes to a garden wedding just as easily.

Every floral flowy dress here comes from our summer line, and you’ll see the styles in the catalog again when spring turns warm. Use the wait well. Choose a print, measure your bust, and remember that a wrap leaves a little freedom at the waist. We sew XS to XL.
