Inspired by the traditional French shift, or “chemise”, our Artist Dress is a romantic and painterly piece that’s endlessly versatile. Whether worn as a simple, lightweight dress in the summer, or layered up with tights and boots as a long tunic in the fall, it’s both effortless and adorable! We absolutely love it paired with the matching Artist Pants for a bohemian look, but we encourage you to get creative by mixing it with other pieces in your wardrobe too! Try layering it over a wide leg pant and adding the matching scarf for an expressionist vibe, or pair it with a cozy sweater and sneakers. However you wear it, we hope it brings out your inner artist ;)

About the Print:

What we can dream, we can do — against all odds! Hummingbirds are tiny beings of wonder. Weighing less than a nickel, they are the only bird that can fly backwards as well as forwards, and have the largest hearts relative to body size in the entire animal world. Symbols of hope, healing, and luck, hummingbirds are also sometimes said to represent well-wishings from loved ones — both here and departed. A flock of hummingbirds is called a glitter or a shimmer — or a bouquet! The bouquet in our exuberant print was created using a collage of breathtakingly beautiful floral paintings from the 1700’s. It includes several works by artist Rachel Ruysch, who is considered by historians to be one of the most talented still-life artists of all time, and who was the first ever female member inducted into The Hague's prestigious painter's society.

Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend a full or half-slip with this style when wearing it with bare legs.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.
