This dress is cut to drop from the shoulder at the front and features a draped back with a swept up hemline. A simple tied belt at the natural waist produces a signature blouson or ‘dropped back’ in combination with swept up hemline. The printed motif is a combination of construction markings, spotted fill and incorporates all garment labelling. The screen print is a dispersion process whereby colour is bleached out the base cloth rather than added on. Black silk bind construction is hand whip-stitched across the shoulders. The front is finished with a black silk necklace.
Nick-named the maxi, this dress can be worn unbelted as an A-line When the belt is tied with the dress smoothed flat at the front, gathered and bloused at the back the signature MATERIALBYPRODUCT silhouette is produced. Tying the belt completely transforms the shape and mood of this piece and it allows for individual interpretation. Silk jersey kisses the body and it feels like a luxurious negligee to wear.
