'sculptural shape shifter' avant-garde pleated black minidress/tunic
A most pleasant garment to wear, this dress - or tunic, which is the artist's favorite look, to combine short dresses with straight leg pants - is lightweight, airy, twirly and much more! With its unexpected twists and turns, it will move around you as you move and the asymmetrical construction will make it shift from one shape to another. (If you prefer a more fitted look, you can also pin it with your favorite pin on one of the sides). Despite of its fitted look, it has room, more on one side than the other, and will fit a few sizes (shown on small, please see chest measurements). The complex construction is a feat in geometry in itself, while the way the pleats are positioned, pointing inward, gives the dress a slimming effect. There are number of jackets available to match it, reserved for the dress, so please ask if interested. It is made of mixed fabrics, including silk crepe and high-tech, and is washable. The pleats are permanent and will not unpleat with either sitting or washing. A pure fun piece! Product code: H4067

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
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.
