Ready-To-Wear

This dress takes its name from the British sub culture in the Sixties and Seventies that was inspired by the American Soul and Northern Soul music scenes. The neat cut and prim collar belies an attitude of rebellion. This dress has long sleeves, a waist seam, small collar and fastens with a concealed zip at the back. Falling just below the knee, it will look great teams with tights in the winter or bare legs come springtime.

Just as its name indicates, it’s irresistible not to swing in this dress. When swing and jazz took hold of music culture on both sides of the Atlantic in the Sixties, hemlines and attitudes shifted accordingly. This dress takes its name from its trapeze shape: tailored perfectly at the shoulders, it hangs loose and has a mini hemline. Its colour-block design has two patch pockets on the front. It’ll look best with long boots or flat coquettish shoes.
