Style & Fabric
An elegant easy-fit and flare shape in Autumn-weight handloom stripes with a beautifully cut panelled skirt and discreet silk piping
About the Print
The cotton stripe for this dress was handwoven for Daydress in Kannur, Kerala. This is a very beautiful and quite smart handloom using hand-spun cotton from South India.
This piece was cut, stitched and finished entirely with our close partners in Jaipur. Each design is produced in small batches of around 30-50 pieces to ensure exclusivity and complete control and care in production.
Sizing & Fit
Model is 5ft 8
The Frances dress fits gently on the chest and flows freely down. As such it makes for a great maternity dress. This dress has pockets and pulls on over the head. The 3/4 length cuffs are lightly elasticated.
Note: this style now runs a little larger than the same dress from previous seasons', If you already own a Frances and are happy with the size, we recommend sizing down.
Please use the below chart to find your perfect fit. While an XS is approximately a UK 8, and an S a UK 10 etc, there is no such thing as standard sizing and the only way to be sure the dress will fit is to measure yourself. Measure chest around the fullest part.
