Market of Stars Love Grows Wild Artist Dress

Inspired by the traditional French shift, or "chemise", this Market of Stars Artist Dress is a romantic and painterly piece that's endlessly versatile. Whether worn as a simple, lightweight dress in the summer, or layered up with tights and boots as a long tunic in the fall, it's both effortless and adorable! We encourage you to get creative by mixing it with other pieces in your wardrobe too — try layering it over wide leg pants with the matching scarf for an expressionist vibe, or pair it with a cozy sweater and sneakers. However you wear it, we hope it brings out your inner artist.

About the Print:

Our lush and verdant botanical Love Grows Wild print comes from the "12 Months of Flowers", a series of remarkably beautiful hand-coloured etchings from the 1700s by engraver Henry Fletcher. The prints were commissioned by famed English gardener Robert Furber, and published as a catalogue of flowers and seeds according to season. We chose Fletcher's print from the month of March for its delightfully detailed blooms, then layered the flowers together to create a wild and wonderful print that captures the exuberance of the garden. The charming bumblebee on the sleeve comes from a museum seed catalogue from the late 1800s. It's such a joyful and abundant design that goes with almost every colour — sometimes more is more.
