Looking for a unique dress that no one else has? This hand marbled bias cut dress is another piece of artistic clothing created by Susan Marling. The fabric for this dress was marbled in stunning blue and teal tones and then cut and sewn into this versatile dress that will easily transition from casual to dressy.
Perfect for a casual Saturday afternoon concert or dress it up for any special occasion - a wedding, an evening cruise - it is the perfect casual elegant dress!
Relaxed and comfortable fit in a 100% silk crepe de chine that is easy care - handwash in shampoo and hang to dry.
This dress is a L/XL which fits most size 14-18 with bust to 42-43" and hips to 44" - this dress is slightly larger than my normal L/XL. This is a short dress which falls just above the knee for a 5'3" woman.

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.
