This style is a design based on an era in the early ’70s of watching my mother create an oversized, teased “do” and then don her latest geometric maxi creation as she and my dad, -he being clad in a lilac body shirt- complete with sideburns, whisked off to a “Sundowner Pool Party” – a trend that was replicating movies – I’m sure I’ve merged it all in my memory …. Jane Fonda in a maxi length, sleeveless A-line shift in geometric flowers with a big floppy hat – but then I realized – I’m not Jane Fonda – she’s much taller ………. OK – along with a few other details! 

There was something glamorous going on, but being too young to grasp or analyse, I was left with an impression of glamour being colour, print and fun times! This was what inspired our new Patcee dress, however, I wasn’t focused on a summer pool party; hence, a ¾ sleeve with flared cuff was a more elegant option. She is the perfect comfortable, stylish shift dress, with a high collar and V-neck placket in an edible green satin in a solid colour, and of course … pockets!

Your essential maxi-length dress – upgraded!

Bamboo is not only an excellent choice for the environment but a comfortable and practical addition to your wardrobe. Bamboo is stronger than cotton, easy to wash, gentle on the skin, and perfect for humid days (it’s 40% more absorbent than even the best organic cotton!) making it impossible not to love this maxi!

Keep it simple and wear it alone for a casual look or use it as a comfortable slip underneath one of our Silk Tops or Dresses, Silk Dusters or Astrid Jackets. Available in a range of colours designed to perfectly compliment all Queen of Everything collections, these bamboo maxi dresses will keep you feeling chic and stylish all year long.

The gentle front scoop neckline and sleeveless bodice still fits the bust and cascades over hips and tummy, making it cool to wear too.

Perfect for everything from an under layer slip  for a silk through to lounging at home in more comfort than your PJ’s.

The midi length really does come to the knee and is a great substitute skirt when worn under one of our silks or casual T shirts depending on your need.

The apple green is a great pairing colour – as it injects sophisticated joy into any palette – whether it’s by contrast with a Crimson Isabella through to a tonal palette with a Petrol Isabella
