Palava LOUISE - IVORY WALKING ZOO DRESS | TENCEL

It’s hard to beat a Louise dress. She looks consistently fabulous on all shapes, sizes and ages, taken from the same bodice shape as our ever popular Cynthia, Louise is her short sleeved sister. Louise offers two looks in one. Her mandarin collar can be turned down like a classic shirt collar or worn up giving her an elegant and contemporary edge. To complete the outfit, Louise has a covered buckle belt in matching fabric. We should also mention her brilliantly deep pockets. Perfect for stashing away treasures!

About the Fabric:

Our linen-cotton blend fabric gets the best of both worlds - the cool, summery feel of linen with a much less crinkly finish. The texture and weight gives a beautiful structure and shape to our dresses. The cloth is woven and printed for us in Turkey. We are proud to have visited the weavers and the growers of this beautiful fabric. A slight slubbing can occur on linen fabric. This is part of its charm and gives the cloth that coveted vintage feel. Do not pick or snip at the slubs! That are part of the fabric's character and intrinsic to its structure.

Corozo nut buttons are an ethical, sustainable and biodegradable alternative to plastic. A favourite choice in the 1920s.
