Catja Print Dress

Product Details

A beautiful and effortlessly elegant update to the classic straight dress: presenting the Catja Print Dress. The striking print is inspired by the uniformity and fluidity of ploughed fields, while the colours take cues from Monet's garden house. The resulting combination is a bold, feminine dress which is super easy to wear. The straight, boxy fit makes this dress comfortable and easy, accentuated by the dropped shoulder and scoop neckline with handy side pockets. You'll find so many ways to wear this dress, but we recommend starting with a simple white sneaker like our Roscoe Trainer for a fun and easy daytime outfit.

Material

42% Viscose & 58% Rayon

Lightweight and breathable, this fabric features a textured surface while remaining soft to the touch and is well suited to trans-seasonal wear. It is a great fabric with a lovely hand feel and nice weighty, fluid movement. Viscose has a beautiful drape, a smooth feel and a breathability that is perfect in summer or worn under layers in winter. Please follow the care instructions on your garment so you can wear for many seasons to come.

Viscose is made from cellulose from timber that has been processed and spun into fine fibres. We are working with not-for-profit organisation Canopy to ensure that our forest-based fabrics are responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry. The viscose fibres in this garment are from producers with a green shirt ranking according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. These producers are considered low risk or have taken substantive action to eliminate risk of sourcing from ancient and endangered forests.

Size & Fit

This dress is cut for a mid-length finish and has a lovely straight silhouette for comfort. We recommend taking your usual size as this style needs to be properly fitted in the hip, bust and arm. For a new styling twist, try cinching the waist with a belt for a different silhouette.
