Dress

A calf-length shirt dress made from 100% cotton. With asymmetrical concealed buttoning and side seam pockets, this garment combines style and sustainability. The voluminous A-line skirt allows for freedom of movement, while the rounded back yoke, inspired by the UN headquarters, adds a sophisticated touch. The calm, blue colour reflects the sky over Backåkra, Sweden and Bo Beskow’s artwork at the UN headquarters. The dress can be styled in multiple ways with a tie-belt that can be worn at three different heights as well as sleeves that can be worn buttoned or rolled up.

Made from 100% long-staple cotton fabric with a twill weave, the dress offers high quality and a perfect balance of movement, comfort, and lustre.

The material is sourced from deadstock, meaning the fabric was produced but never used, making it a sustainable solution that gives new life to existing materials.

The dress was produced in Europe in collaboration with Eton, known for its high-quality shirts.

Design and fit

It is an inclusive garment as the dress allows for several different styling options based on taste and figure shape: it can be worn with the tie-belt tied at the front or back for a more defined waist, as well as without the tie-belt.

The garment is suitable for warm days and provides for generous range of motion. The standing collar contributes to airiness and the sleeve length can be adjusted as it looks just as nice with a buttoned cuff as when folded up.

It can also be worn with a blazer or alone depending on the temperature and situation.

The dress has practical pockets in the side seams. The belting is a system of three loops at the sides, in which the tie-belt can be placed at three different heights depending on the user's height and and styling wishes. This is a special feature that allows the garment to be worn in different ways and adapted to different body shapes.

The length of the dress can be shortened by a tailor, as can the sleeve length. 

Material

100% cotton. The clear diagonal structure of the fabric, created by the twill binding, is woven from double-twined yarn, spun from extra-long-fibre cotton from the finest 2-3% of the global cotton crop. This long-fibre cotton, with the scientific name Gossypium barbadense, is one of several cotton species and yields a higher quality cotton than is usual in everyday life. By using such an exquisite fibre, carefully spun yarn, and weaving in twill, a perfect balance of movement, comfort, texture, and lustre is created.

Production

The dress was designed locally in Borås, Sweden and it was also sewn in Europe.
