Black Background Bohemian Floral Dress

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL

Opacity: 3

Sleeve: Cropped (long 3/4 length)

Elasticity: The fabric has no elastic content, however the rayon component of the fabric will slowly stretch to your shape (similar to the way denim stretches to fit the wearer) if it is worn to fit tightly across the body. As this is a rayon dress, it will shrink when washed, before returning to the shape of the wearer after a short period of wear. Likewise, it is vital to understand that rayon loses its strength when wet, so it is important that this dress is dried hanging or flat, never tumble dried, as this could cause it to tear.

In 2002, Australian journalist Laura Demasi coined the term “boho chic.” This dress embodies our understanding of boho chic. It maintains the feminine, vintage feel in its choice of floral colours and motifs, but this time these florals are paired with a sophisticated black background, making this the perfect dress for not only days out at the beach or on picnics, but also dressed up with a pair of heels and a clutch purse for night time events and parties. In effect, this is a dress for all occasions that also maintains your modest femininity.

For those whose modesty standards require the highest level of fabric opacity, we recommend wearing these dresses with either a slip dress underneath or with a pair of pants and top, just as you would with an abaya. Due to the focus on billowing, loose fabrics, there is lots of room in boho dresses to comfortably allow them to be worn over other clothing. It is also worth noting that this dress has a cropped sleeve, so on many people, it will reveal the wrist bone and a little bit of the forearm, however the larger the size is on you, the longer the sleeves become. For those less concerned with opacity, the colour saturation in this dress ensures your undergarments are not on display when you wear it.

Boho dresses are feminine and freeing and we just can’t get enough of them here at Myriad Modest Fashion! We hope you enjoy this chic example of this beautiful style.
