Handmade calico
Retro Marilyn Shift Dress
£80inc. UK delivery
Named for its reference point — the ease and presence that Marilyn Monroe brought to everything she wore. This shift dress is made in natural calico, unbleached and honest in its texture. The silhouette is clean and confident, with a hemline and shoulder width that have been refined specifically for this fabric.
Calico has a particular character: it moulds with wear, softens in washing, and develops its own quality over time. This is a dress that gets better the more you wear it.
