A little more info …
Do you know the feeling of pulling a dress over your head and just knowing that it’s going to hang on you all summer? That’s how I imagine many will feel about this sweet tunic dress. The dress is quite simple in its silhouette – it has a good straightforward length, a cute fit, and a nice and flattering V-neckline. The wide band at the bottom adds a sweet detail – both because the stripes are horizontal and because it is in double fabric, giving a little extra weight to the dress. The dress is short-sleeved and has a slight gather in the back. Of course, it has pockets on the sides. All in all, a lovely dress that is given extra energy from the beautiful striped fabric.
The fabric
The tunic dress is sewn in a wonderful linen quality, woven in beautiful stripes. The color and stripe combination is developed and designed specifically for McVERDI. When our Italian textile designer develops for us, we often receive color samples that are woven together in a large piece of fabric. Usually, the intention is for us to choose one or two different stripes to proceed with from this “blanket”. But often we fall in love with the complete expression. In the combination of many colors and stripes, creating a color story that ties the collection together. Originally, this piece of fabric was just examples of different stripes that could be made from the yarn we had desired. But as often before, we fell in love with the entire color sample and proceeded with two multi-striped versions – a green/blue story and a pink/red/orange story. Additionally, the fabric is woven from colored yarns, so each stripe is mottled and the fabric has a beautiful play of colors. The fabric is 100% linen and has the well-known and special linen structure. Linen has a luxurious feel, it drapes beautifully, and it is lovely to wear when it is warm. Linen wrinkles – and you have to get used to it or learn to love it. It is part of linen’s natural “behavior” and expression. You can certainly iron linen and get a sharp look, but we actually recommend letting linen be linen and instead accepting the wrinkles and letting the fabric work. Wash your tunic dress gently in the washing machine and let it dry on a hanger. The fabric is produced in Italy, while the tunic dress is sewn in Bulgaria.
