Europe/Western Colonies - Bohemian

Red Patchwork Design Shirt Dress

Sizes: M, M (relaxed), L, XL

Opacity: 3

Sleeve: Fixed

Elasticity: This fabric has a minimal amount of elasticity which allows it stretch comfortably with the body as you move. However, we would not recommend depending on this elasticity to provide you with more size in this garment as it would become quite fitted, and being a shirt dress, the hem between the buttons will gape (particularly across the bust) if it is too tight.

Since the politics of the Hippy movement in America in the 1960s (which did not reach Australia until the 1970s), there has been a renaissance in patchwork design. Patchwork is seen as a way of recycling vintage textiles and celebrating the hand-made skills of female artisans (as was most common in the West). Likewise, there was a recognition that most Western nations outside Europe have multicultural foundations and patchwork was a way or recognising many of the cultural and ethnic origins that have been lost to mainstream Western fashion.

With bohemian design being focused on the reintroduction of a feminine aesthetic with a particular focus on vintage and ethnic patterns, it is not surprising that patchwork designs have become a staple feature of bohemian design in the West. We absolutely love the scroll based designs and deep red tones in this smartly tailored shirt dress. It is the perfect outfit for work or play, and we can’t get enough of its trim, taught style! Wear it with the belt to emphasis the tailored look or without the belt to keep it loose and away from the curves of your body. Either way, it’s a versatile dress of great beauty.
