'a forest fairy' patchwork mid-calf asymmetrical dress

It is so much derived from nature that if you were to stand in the middle of the forest in it, you would blend in. Everything from the colors (shades of green, earthy brown, moss, grass) to the textures, from mushroom pleats (that is an actual name for the type of pleating because it looks very close to the underside of a mushroom) to hanging raw edge, leaf print on some of the silk, bark-like wrinkles, etc., adds to the effect. Comfortable, with some stretch to it and a beautiful drape, it combines most of the artist's signature techniques, from distressing to texturing and hand-painting. Sleeves can be pulled up for a more relaxed look. Many matching pieces (scarf, purse, necklace) are available separately. Product code: R3097

Hand wash, dryer OK.

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.
