The making of Lilac Gauze

Our fabrics are dyed by hand in small batches using dyes, allowing colour to develop slowly and evenly. Deeper shades may pass through multiple dye baths, while lighter tones are carefully controlled to maintain softness and consistency.

Lilac XL

The Lilac Kyra is very pretty and cool. It is light, but not at all see-through, (important as I can't be double layering in the summer heat). In fact, the dress is sturdier than it looks. It is also well cut. I ordered the XL and am usually an AU 16, though my bust can push me to wearing larger sizes, my shoulders are comparatively narrow. The dress fit well across the shoulders, but the seam hits mid bust unlike on the models. However, it still looks fine to me given the voluminous fabric and cool baggy style. Would love to see this in an indigo blue or mint green with pattern. I appreciate the covered arms, but they are loose enough for free movement too. Given the quality I expect to have this a while. Well done! A really great online shopping experience.

Beautiful dress

Such a beautiful colour and fabric combine to make me feel divine wearing this dress. True to size I’m a AU10 and the S fits perfectly and although I’m only 162cm tall, the length is perfect and does not hit the floor. For a more casual look simply knot the bottom

Gorgeous color, style and quality

Ordered this dress and the customer service and delivery was excellence. I live in the US the item was shipped to me easily and quickly. The dress itself is a gorgeous color, fabric is a lovely quality and the flow and design is complementary to my body. Very happy with it. I am large busted and the design is good. There is enough shape to be flattering and the length is maxi and perfect. Highly recommend

Lilac dress

The hem on the rear is frayed. Not at the seam but in the actual fabric. Otherwise a pretty dress and a true medium. I am a size 12. I do wish it was lined, it’s very transparent.
