“After the first glass of absinthe, you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world."
― Oscar Wilde

'The Green Fairy' edition of our Vita Dress. Inspired by the vibrant mark-making of Toulouse Lautrec and the absinthe-soaked clubs of Belle Epoque Paris. Made in hand-dyed cotton muslin with curtain tape detail.
Vita is a design that creates an androgynous silhouette whilst still remaining slightly feminine.
Sleeveless smock style. Both shoulders feature adjustable curtain tape ties two fastened up high or left loose. The full-gathered skirt features curtain tape at the hem that creates a gentle tulip silhouette if pulled up.
Comes with a natural cotton muslin smock style underdress with short sleeves.
