A romantic midi cut in paper cotton, in a print as rare as it is beautiful — a dusty teal base scattered with pink pops and heather leaves, replicated from an 18th-century muslin sourced at a Parisian antique fair. Muslin was once a small scandal of Marie Antoinette's France: so close to an undergarment that the queen's portrait wearing it was pulled from the Salon. Venus, essentially, in French court dress.

Curve-hugging princess seams and puff sleeves shape the silhouette, with a tie at the bust for adjustable fit and lace trim at the edges. Cotton gauze midi dress with puff sleeves and curve-hugging princess seams.
