Short Sleeve Swing Dress in Thistle 1960s

Short Sleeve Swing Dress in Thistle 1960sA quiet wash of first crocus lilac. Pure, quiet lilac, the color of the very first crocus pushing up through spring. With nothing to compete for attention, this dress is all about the swing of the skirt and the way the light catches its gentle gathers. The empire waist and ruffled hem do the storytelling, simple and dreamy. It layers under a cardigan or flies solo on warm mornings, soft as a whispered lullaby. Why you'll love it OEKO TEX Standard 100

It is the lightest

Rows and rows of tiny deep-red hearts

Cut from viscose-from-bamboo woven light and smooth

wear it down to the water

the kind of stripe that feels like a celebration in fabric form

the color of cocoa gone cold and a house gone still

A candy bowl of spooky

If you buy one solid in this whole lineup

and white balloons go bobbing up across a pale sky-blue ground

Slip it on and let the puns write themselves

the slow kind with the windows open and nowhere pressing to be

it stays impossibly soft
