'garden of whimsy' mixed fabrics long dress
Part of the artist's latest heavy silk collection, this dress, like the others in this collection, is a most pleasant piece to wear for many reasons: super comfortable, with a great drape, breathable, and due to combined different types fabric, a very artistic piece. The top is made out of heavy silk crepe, which is cool to the body followed by high-tech paper like fabric, further followed by European woven flax linen which is semi-transparent, so you can show off your legs if you want (not that transparent - shown here without a liner), or wear any color slip under. Truly a not-to-miss piece, if you never tried dresses of this kind, now is the time. The sizing is not mentioned for a reason - it is shown on size small 5'5", but can be made longer, shorter, roomier or smaller upon request, these options are always a possibility with the one-of-a-kind pieces. The dress balloons toward the bottom, making for a flattering silhouette and maximizing fabric movement with every step you take. Built-in deep pockets are fun to use, too. Many different shrugs, cardigans and jackets options are available, just a few shown here, please ask if you are interested. Also great for layering - you can wear tunics and vests as a top layer. Washable and wrinkle resistant Product code: B9676

Hand wash cold, minimal detergent, dryer ok on low to medium only, preshrunk.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
