The Joan Chainmail Dress
The draped cowl neck adds a touch of sophistication to the dress's edgy aesthetic, while the open back adds a touch of sexiness. What truly sets this piece apart is the destroyed and darned back design crocheting purple thread and gold xillon beads, creating a grungy and distressed effect that elevates the dress.
This dress honours the artisan's heritage, a commitment to preserving hand craftsmanship skills, and a testament to the unwavering dedication and passion poured into crafting wearable art.
Perfect for big events like red carpet appearances or private ceremonies, the Joan Chainmail Long Dress not only showcases the wearer's body but does so with a unique flair. It takes away the 'shine' attached to traditional attire, allowing the natural form and relaxed fit to take center stage.
Composition: 80% brass and 20% cotton.
Bibi is 178CM / 5' 10" tall.
