This is a pre-loved Palava item. It means it has been worn before and might show signs of wear (or signs of love, as we like to call it). But don't worry, all our pre-loved items are checked over by Zoe and Sam in our Warehouse in Yorkshire! Clean, (almost) as good as new and ready for an exciting adventure in its second life.
The Irene dresses were inspired by dancing – not just the prints but also the shape. She has short, flattering sleeves that allow plenty of movement in the arms (the worst thing about a long sleeve dress when you’re dancing is feeling your arms are restricted!). The bust on Irene is very feminine and gives a more ‘evening’ feel than our classic Beatrice shape. The waist is high and the skirt full – leaving a great amount of fabric that flows beautifully when you spin or twirl.
This hand illustrated print is inspired by a classic Palava print - chasing butterflies.
Made from 100% cotton sateen.
