Wu zetian women's dress cornflower ikat with coconut hand smocking

Named after the only woman to rule China’s empire in her own right, comes this brand new smocked frock for Spring Summer 2024. The silhouette takes its shape from the spectacular triangular smocked panel on the front and back which pleats acres of sensational cornflower ikat cotton into a twirl-tastic maxi dress.

The front button placket, tiny buttons, smocked cuffs and dainty frill collar keep the silhouette streamlined, skilfully balancing the dramatic volume to create a vision as commanding and beguiling as the woman she was named after.  Please note the ML size runs large. 

Hand smocked. Limited edition. Button down closure on front. Elasticated Waist. Tie Sash.

60% cotton, 40% linen. Machine wash cold, gentle wash.
