Description
Restrained from the front and not from behind. High round neck, long sleeve, no jewellery required — and then the back is open in a clean curve to the natural waist, edged with a narrow self binding rather than elastic.
Cut in a sandwashed silk crepe that has been through an enzyme wash, so it has a chalky hand and no shine at all. The absence of shine is the whole point: it reads as fabric rather than as a dress trying to catch the light.
Fabric and make
- 100% sandwashed silk crepe, 19 momme
- Unlined through the body; skirt lined in silk habotai

Fit
Close to the body throughout. If you are between sizes, size up — silk crepe has no stretch and this style does not forgive a tight hip.
Model is 178 cm and wears AU 8.
Flat measurements
Taken with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Bust, waist and hip are half measurements — double them to compare against your own body measurement. If you are between two sizes, the fit note above tells you which way we would go.

Care
Dry clean only. Silk crepe waterspots. If it rains, let it dry fully before brushing.

The silk has no shine which makes it look far more expensive than it is.

Sold out before I could get a second one. The back is the whole dress.
