Our beautifully woven cotton Calliope dress features subtle embroidery throughout the piece - down the centre and the rear, along the hem and neck lines and on the top of both pockets. It's a trans seasonal piece, and can be teamed with tights and boots in Winter, or  a singlet top and sandals in Summer. The lush slub cotton fabric in this dress is a signature feature of our cotton clothing, and will wear in beautifully.

How To Wash
  • Wash separately (or with other like colours), as your piece will bleed a little colour in the beginning. 
  • Wash only in cold water. Warm or hot washes will make your piece bleed more colour.
  • Dry only in the shade. Direct sunlight will fade your piece.
  • Ironing is not necessary, simply hang your piece correctly when drying.

Sizing: Perfect
Great detail

Really love the detail in the dress with the colour down the middle and sides, fitted at the bust and falling nicely from there.

I'm madly in love with this dress. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, it's also incredibly comfortable and feels so gentle on my skin. I might have to get one in every colour!

Calliope dress

Love the style & pattern design was a difficult choice between 4 lovely colours. Thicker material than most dresses & would be great with leggings & boots :) Happy with my choice & fast delivery.

A dress with pockets!!

I love the Calliope dress so much that I've since ordered one in the oatmeal as well. I just felt so comfortable while wearing it. Looks great with a long sleeve top underneath and some boots for winter but will also work in summer with sandals and a t-shirt underneath.
