Ballad Dress in Lavender Velvet
SOLD OUT
We're sorry, but this product is sold out.
Story
With a steady stony glance—
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Beholding all his own mischance,
Mute, with a glassy countenance—
She look'd down to Camelot.
It was the closing of the day:
She loos'd the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.
– Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 'The Lady of Shalott'
Every Ballad tells a story, and this dress is no different. A fitted bodice gives the Ballad structure, while evenly spaced pleats give it rhyme. A classic silhouette and length create a narrative, while eight buttons dotting the shoulders give the Ballad an unexpected jolt of life.

Materials
This dress is made of organic cotton velvet woven in India. Luxuriously soft with a characteristic velvet pile on one side, this fabric is heavy and substantial. It is dyed a beautiful faded pink.
In addition to the fabric, this dress uses cotton thread, a YKK zipper, 8 vintage mother of pearl buttons, cotton bias binding/pocket lining, and cotton garment labels.
Fit
Take a look at our Size Guide to find your size.
The Ballad Dress is fitted in the bust and the waist, so use both your bust and waist measurements when determining your size. If you fall in between sizes, I recommend sizing down; this dress runs just a tad big.
