Cream, Pink and Blue Bohemian Floral Dress

Europe/Western Colonies - Bohemian

Cream, Pink and Blue Bohemian Floral Dress

Sizes: S, M, L, 2XL

Opacity: 2

Sleeve: Fixed

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.

One of the purposes of Bohemian style was to promote femininity in clothing, without over sexualisation or projecting of the body. And of all our boho dresses, this is the one that achieves this feminine, romantic style mist convincingly. From its combination of soft pastel colours to its use of small floral and paisley motifs (nodding to an ethnic influence), this dress just exudes feminine style and joyous beauty achieved without needing to exhibit large portions of the female form beyond the dress. It truly is the antithesis of the 1990s styles it was responding to, which focused on the use of leather, denim, skin tight fitting clothes, dark colours in fabric and lipstick, androgynous and “pixie” haircuts and exposed legs, arms, midriffs and cleavage! This dress is the ultimate opposition to such style and it is still being enthusiastically embraced by women in the 2020s who love the opportunity to celebrate their femininity in a way that is not restrictive nor unnecessarily revealing.

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. But for those less concerned with opacity, the colour saturation in this dress ensures your undergarments are not on display when you wear it, as long as your undergarments are not much darker in tone than the dress.

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 feminine example of this beautiful style.
