The Story
Our Back-to-Front Dual Box Pleat “Mi-Knee” Dress is a delightful swing dress where we have specially engineered it to have more than 1 way to wear it, because we want you to explore and have fun dressing up. A main detail that is echoed throughout the collection is a Dual Box Pleat technique that is applied to achieve more volume, texture and movement to the piece.
For a chic and classy vibe, wear the boat neckline as the front. You can then choose to criss-cross the sash and bring it from the back to the front to cinch the waist, or knot it loosely at the back as a beautiful detail. The boat neck is a perfect foil for big earrings.
You can also choose to wear the V-neck as the front, criss-cross the sash to the back and bring it forward again to knot it for a perfectly retro-feminine look.
The Print
The motif on this print was inspired by the extremely sophisticated weaving techniques of Ikat and the beautiful Parang Klitik motifs, which symbolises wisdom, quiet strength and tenderness to the wearer.
The colours of the print were lifted from the landscape of Afton’s grandfather’s village in Moro, Indonesia – of stilt houses on the olive-sapphire sea, vibrant coloured roofs of boats, dark teal outline of distant mountains, smells of dank moss and the salty sea.
