This version of the Lise dress speaks for itself and has been long awaited! We have been really looking forward to getting this long linen dress with green/blue stripes home. Excited to see it in stores and later on the streets. The silhouette of the dress is simple and timeless. A relaxed yet elegant summer dress, elevated by the piece of fabric it is sewn in. The dress has a sweet length and short sleeves. It sounds a bit cliché, but it can actually be worn for both everyday and special occasions. All in all, a wonderful summer dress that of course also has pockets on the sides.
The fabric
The dress is made 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 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 one must 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 dress gently in the washing machine and let it dry on a hanger. The fabric is produced in Italy, while the dress is sewn in Bulgaria.
