MAKEMECHIC Paisley Print Wrap Dress

Early evening at a summer gallery opening. The paisley print on faux leather catches the spotlights while the wrap cut crosses the bodice and holds a soft V neck. Short sleeves keep the line clean. Ruffle edging moves with a steady step. The multicolour surface reads like a printed sketch rather than a heavy coat.

The fabric does not offer stretch, so the wrap overlap is the control on fit rather than elastic. The piece folds small for travel and will sit on a hanger without pressing flat. Expect a little memory where it bends.

One of 165 on the dresses rail in MAKEMECHIC pieces. It also answers to plus size. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
