Named after a painting by Leonora Carrington, The Giantess (The Guardian of the Egg) 1947
"... it’s a sort of a giantess with a moonlike face in a field of wheat which is also golden hair."
Sheer silk organza smock top. Gathered, square shape with a smock line on the bust and gathered balloon-like sleeves that have been gathered into the cuff. The bodice features an appliqued panel of pintucks.
Designed to be worn as a top layer over trousers and a top or over another dress to add extra volume and texture. Made in 100% silk organza and dyed with ink to create a deep, pewter grey-purple tone.

Caring for this garment
Important Care Instructions
This garment is a complete one-off and hand dyed/printed/painted. It will never be made exactly the same again and it needs to be treated with care.
Take care to not over-launder. Choose to spot clean or even just hang out in the breeze to refresh it.
If needed wash by hand in cool water with a very mild detergent. Do not leave to soak for too long. Wring out gently and hang to dry. Can be ironed with medium heat.
Although all dyes and prints have been heat sealed to stay on the fabric excessive washing will cause them to fade over time.
