This Silk Velvet Dress is the epitome of effortless elegance. It features a simple round neckline, long sleeves and a straight cut, allowing the subtly iridescent print to take centre stage. It fastens with a concealed zip at the centre back, leaving the print to continue around the garment uninterrupted. The dress is constructed in London with an exquisite placement design, hand-felled hems, and is French-seamed throughout.
The Scrimshaw Skeleton Silk Velvet Dress draws inspiration from Susan’s Teeth, a famous set of scrimshaw teeth inscribed by a whaler from Nantucket, while the carved bone whales were a common form of folk art for sailors of the era. The skeletal coral serve as a beautiful and poignant reminder to protect our natural world.
