Women's Grey Aurora Moonlit Lilac Hand-Dyed Silk Jacquard Maxi Dress

Powdery lilac that drifts between lavender and grey with the light, woven with small circular florals in cream and champagne. Each dress is woven on traditional looms in Vietnam, then hand-dyed in small batches (80% silk, 20% viscose, fully lined). The relaxed 135 cm tent silhouette falls from a round jewel neckline in one graceful line, with hidden side pockets. Perfect for an afternoon wedding, garden party or gallery opening with pearls and kitten heels — a wedding guest dress to return to season after season. Arrives in our signature gift box. Made in very small numbers; every dye lot is quietly unique. Designed in England · Handwoven in Vietnam · Featured in British Vogue, Tatler, Grazia & T Magazine Dry clean recommended. If hand washing, wash alone in cool water with a silk-friendly detergent — artisan dyes settle on their first wash, so rinse separately the first time. Do not soak or wring. Do not tumble dry; hang or lay flat in shade away from direct sunlight. Cool iron on reverse with a pressing cloth. Subtle tonal variation across the weave is the hallmark of hand-dyed silk, prized by collectors. Silk 80%, Viscose 20% Colour: grey
