A joyful, one-of-a-kind short dress cut and constructed from the same antique mid-weight linen cutwork tablecloth as its long sister piece. The tiered silhouette was designed to showcase the tablecloth's most elaborate cutwork panels — a wide band of intricate lacework crowns the bodice, with scrolling botanical motifs cascading through the full, gathered skirt tiers.
The result is something between a garden party dress and a heirloom artifact — light and playful in movement, deeply considered in construction. The scalloped cutwork hem finishes the skirt with the same hand-worked detail that runs throughout.
