The Carmen Dress – Electric Fuchsia Silk
Bold, flirtatious, and impossible to ignore, The Carmen Dress is cut from two complementary up-cycled silks: a sizzling, hot-pink bodice and a plum-magenta striped hem.
The result is a colour-blocked ruffle dream that swings with every step.
Design notes
Sculptural ease – an oversized A-line silhouette with a gathered high waist and a deep flounce for maximum swish.
Convertible neckline – the key-hole ties can be worn to the front for a playful bow or reversed to the back for a clean jewel-neck look.
Statement sleeves – elbow-length sleeves finished with soft ruffles echo the hem and balance the volume.
Light as air – the silk’s subtle stripe weave catches the light, while the cotton warp (in the shot-silk blend) adds breathability.
Pockets
One-of-a-kind sustainability – crafted in a seaside New Zealand studio from rescued luxury fabric that deserved a second life.
Size: Made for Body Freedom
This piece is intentionally designed to work on a range of bodies and sizes.
Comfortably fits from NZ/AU Small to 4X
Bust up to 60 inches/152 cm]
Front length: 44 inches/112 cm]
Its generous shape allows for movement, layering, and flexibility.
Lovingly made in a seaside New Zealand studio
