Monica silk dress, candy stripe

Mini cap-sleeve dress with a raised collar in a rare hand-painted period Thai silk in white with blue and pink painted on stripes. Features a gathered asymmetric shape on the hemline.
Wear this effortlessly sophisticated dress for any occasion–from daytime to evening, with high heels, low heels, or boots.

Designer’s note: The Monica dress is super versatile and can be dressed up with heels and a tailored jacket or silk shawl for elegant events or dressed down with boots or flats with a leather or denim jacket for a more casual look.
Plus the fit of the Candy dress is loose enough to layer on top of body warming knits and thicker tights for colder seasons.

100% Thai silk; natural pearl beads
Dry clean or gentle hand-wash in gentle washing liquid and cool water (avoid direct contact with harsh detergent) ; gentle iron in low heat on reverse side ; Do not machine wash or tumble dry

Designer's note: Thai silk will soften and lose slightly its original crispness after multiple hand washes/ contact with water, but will retain its natural sheen. I personally enjoy the softening of the fabric as it will drape more to your body and offer greater comfort on the skin, but if you prefer the original sharp “crispness” of the fabric, please dry clean only to preserve this more rigid quality of your Thai silk garment.

*This is a rare period fabric, any slight irregularities are part of its unique charm
