The velvet Bloom (S)

SIZE — BEST FITS WOMEN’S SMALL

One-of-a-kind asymmetrical one-shoulder dress made from SHEER floral fabric with soft velvet detailing throughout. The design features colorful birds and flowers, hand-beaded floral accents, black velvet trim, a dramatic side opening, and delicate beaded fringe along the uneven hem.

Three hand-sewn metal snap closures run along the side opening, allowing the wearer to adjust the height of the slit and the size of the armhole. Fasten all three for additional coverage, or leave one or more open to create a higher slit and a looser, more dramatic drape.

This dress is completely sheer and does not include a lining, slip, or undergarments. It can be styled over a bodysuit, lingerie, swimwear, fitted dress, shorts, or another layering piece.

Due to its asymmetrical draped construction, this piece does not fit like a traditionally structured dress. It is estimated to best fit a women’s Small and someone approximately 5’5” or shorter for the intended dress length and coverage. Taller wearers may find it shorter or prefer to style it as a sheer layering piece.

IMPORTANT FIT AND MOVEMENT NOTE

Because the fabric drapes continuously over one arm and connects to the adjustable side opening, movement through the covered arm is limited. Raising that arm above shoulder height will lift the draping and cause the slit to rise, which may reveal more than intended.

Even with all three snaps fastened, this piece is not designed for unrestricted overhead arm movement. Wearing a bodysuit, shorts, or another underlayer is recommended for additional coverage.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Due to the delicate sheer fabric, velvet detailing, hand-beading, and beaded fringe, spot clean only using cold water and a gentle cleanser. Do not soak, scrub, wring, machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry. If damp after spot cleaning, carefully reshape and hang to dry.

When opening the snaps, hold and gently separate the metal hardware rather than pulling on the sheer fabric. Handle and store the fringe and beadwork with care to prevent snagging.
