It has a flattering round neckline and thin spaghetti straps that can be adjusted for a comfortable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA study in movement and heat, the “Dancing Lady” print channels the flirtation and flourish of its namesake orchid. Splashed across a dark, sultry base, fiery orange blooms seem to sway mid-dance–layered and full of motion, like flamenco in full swing. Each petal arcs and twirls with painterly precision, creating a rhythmic pattern that feels both spontaneous and deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is an extension of the \u003cem\u003eWonderland\u003c\/em\u003e narrative, celebrating nature’s dramatic flair and its uncanny ability to perform. Here, Silk Laundry leans into the theatrical, pairing the floral’s bold curves with rich tones of crimson and coral, set against moody depths for maximum contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut in a fluid silhouette that drape and skim with ease, the “Dancing Lady” print offers a sultry counterpoint to the collection’s more whimsical illusions–perfect for evenings that begin with elegance and end in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith such a classic silhouette, Silk Laundry’s 1996 Dress is an investment that you'll wear season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner colour: Geranium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight flare towards hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable spaghetti straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length hem finishes below the ankle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal French seams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive, limited-edition Silk Laundry print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eSIZE AND FIT\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel is 178cm\/5’10\" and is wearing a size M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits true to size, take your normal size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for a slim fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlips on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eCOMPOSITION\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted from bias-cut, sand-washed 100% Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, slightly stretchy fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash or dry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned in Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eABOUT THE BRAND\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Katie Kolodinski found difficulty locating a classic slip dress that was made from natural fibres, she created Silk Laundry. Most slips the designer could find were made from polyester or nylon, both of which do not have a positive effect on our planet. In 2015, it was from this desire for a well-crafted, consciously drawn staple, that led Silk Laundry to launch its capsule collection of five styles: a '90s style slip dress, a cami, a t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and a button-up classic shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter anchoring its launch to the ‘90s Silk Slip Dress, and with this item remaining a key component of the label's core staples to this day, Silk Laundry chose to expand their sumptuous range. The mission remains the same: create long-lasting, well-crafted wardrobe staples that encourage conscious consumerism and easy, endless styling opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReflected in the brand name; Silk Laundry, the label is suggestive of quality and care at the forefront of its focus; high-quality, natural fibres that care for you, and the planet. Priding itself on creating accessible, essential pieces of luxury without the overproduction that clogs up the fashion industry, Silk Laundry reveals four seasonal collections a year. By encompassing the five styles that heralded the launch of the label, a refreshed ‘Uniform’ capsule collection remains a mainstay, with a single new colourway added each year. Small runs of seasonal colours, shapes, and prints are revealed as part of quarterly drops, designed to pair with pieces from ‘Uniform’, and elevate your carefully curated closet. It is through this model that Kolodinski can remain relevant, without producing unnecessary, excess clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk Laundry is the go-to brand for sleek, comfortable, polished essentials that segue easily from day to night–think women’s silk shirts, blazers, pants, skirts and the ‘90s Silk Slip Dress where their classic styles all began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t miss our recent edit of event-worthy, sweeping maxi dresses with artful apertures and open backs, always imbued with Silk Laundry’s signature timelessness and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eRETURNS \u0026amp; EXCHANGES\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou may return your item within 14 days of receiving your purchase.
