Skirt, but carried from the shoulder down. Crafted in this season's modal-nylon blend, the dress possesses a cool, fluid hand-feel and a subtle luster. The weight of the fabric allows the oversized shape to collapse and expand gracefully, creating a rhythmic movement that is entirely organic to the wearer’s pace. While the Bellows Skirt features a "window" panel of dry-brushed organza, the Sweep Dress brings the hand to the forefront. Contrasting cream paint is applied using a meticulous dry-brush technique, feathered by hand across every horizontal seam and gather. This painterly treatment follows the three-tiered construction, highlighting the joinery and creating a textured patina that catches the light with every step. Key Feature include: Three distinct gathered tiers add structural depth, culminating in a final row of 100% crinkled cotton gauze for a soft, tactile finish at the hem. The neckline is cleanly finished with bias tape, leading to an elegant keyhole opening and tie-fastening at the center back. Because the paint strokes are applied manually across the gathers, no two dresses are identical; each piece is a unique record of the dry-brush process. Length Neck to Armhole Neck Armhole 44" 15" 17" 10" Made in North Carolina by sewers receiving a Living Wage
