Rachel carson women's dress pack a punch plumetti with big top hand smocking

Named after the grandmother of modern environmentalism and author of ‘Silent Spring’ the book which opened the world’s eyes to nature’s cause,  comes this hand smocked spring time sensation.

The dress is made from acres of knock out neon coral plumetti on a silk like ivory cotton,  pleated together with a deep garland of zigzag smocking in neon coral and pearly white threads that pack a serious colour punch. The sweeping silhouette is further enhanced by a frill tiered skirt and elegant frill straps adding a feminine swing to your summer escapades. And because nature's cause is as practical as it is beautiful, the dress features pockets, an elasticated bodice and fully adjustable straps for a perfect fit across different body shapes.  But there is more to this particular spring miracle: you can unbutton the flutter straps to transform the dress into a high waisted summer skirt - a neat trick sure to make this leading lady the hardest working style in your summer wardrobe.
