Dress

Hand marbled Bias cut dress in teal, magenta, yellow.  Beautiful draping silhouette with short flutter sleeve.  Piecing on the front and back, adding artful visual interest.  Reversible from front to back.  Shown with optional silk chiffon vest.

The L/XL short dress fits most sizes 14 -  16 (bust to 42-43" and hips to 44").  Length is just above the knee for 5'2" height.

Fantastic dress for travel as it does not wrinkle easily (if it does just hang in a steamy bathroom and any wrinkles will fall out).  Easy care - handwash in shampoo and hang to dry. Store the dress folded when you are not wearing to protect the bias-cut hemline.

Perfect for casual to elegant events.  Great dress for an upcoming wedding, beach vacation, cruise - you will love this dress!

Fabric

100% Silk, Crepe de Chine. Breathable, cool, comfortable and durable. The weave of crepe de chine silk is fabulous in heat and humidity - very cool and light on the skin. Easy care & great for travel.

This blouse started as a piece of white silk. Susan marbled the silk by floating paints on a liquid, raking those paints into a pattern and then laying the silk on top of the floating pattern She then cut and sewed this blouse - no two are ever exactly alike.

Size Chart

Bias Cut Dresses have a beautiful fit because they are cut on the cross grain (at a 45 degree angle).  This gives this a slight stretch and causes them to hang with a drape that you do not see with a straight grain cut dress.  Notice the flutter at the hem - that is a result of being cut on the bias.

Bias cut dresses look exceptional on women whose bust, waist and hip measurements are close - whether the person is small or large in size.
