Leena Norms Limited Edition Sustainable Silk Seasonal Dress
"The concept behind this one always fills people with delight when I explain that it's colour coded to get people into eating seasonally - I've worn this to weddings, I've rolled it up to travel with, I've put it on to sit around the house when I'm blue. If I was a cartoon character, this would be my always-outfit." - Leena.
Fun and flowing, this dress is everything you need to add some zest to your wardrobe. The print depicts what is in season in the UK and when: yellow is Spring, orange is Summer, pink is Autumn and Magenta is Winter. This dress is effortlessly beautiful, and fit for days in the sun, or nights under the stars..

Print placement will vary by garment due to the size of the repeat, and to ensure we make the most out of the fabric.
Limited edition this dress is made from ethically sourced organic silk. Silk is a fine and strong natural fibre collected from cocoons made by silkworms. These silkworms are fed on leaves from mulberry trees. The mulberry tree requires no pesticides or fertilisers, grown organically, requiring less water than cotton.This silk is Bluesign certified for responsible and sustainable textile manufacturing and production, Certification of Environmental Standards with SRS and CERES Organic Silk Certification. The original dress was made from a silk tencel blend but this has been discontinued and this silk still ticks all our boxes when in comes to our ethics as well as being the same weight and draping in the same way. The fabric is printed in Gloucestershire.
Beautifully light, hand wash and hang dry. Iron or steam.
