Darla Dress in Holly Berry Silk Noil

SOLD OUT

We're sorry, but this product is sold out.

Story

It's really not a Margu collection without a twirly dress. While designing FW17, I knew I wanted something a little bit more than just another twirly dress, though, so with the Darla, I went a step further than ever before and made the sleeves twirly in addition to the skirt. The result is a romantic, über-feminine dress perfect for dancing (or just twirling around in circles, if you, like me, don't know how to dance). The French darts and wide neckline add sophistication to the silhouette, but the Darla is truly about the fluttery cape sleeves and voluminous bias-cut skirt. I like to think the dress pairs best with heels for a night out at a salsa club, but I also like it dressed down with flats and a structured jacket.

      Materials

      This dress is made of a a 35mm silk noil fabric from China, hand-dyed in our studio with acid dyes to be a bright scarlet red. Made from the fibers left over after spinning silk, silk noil (also known as raw silk) is unlike any other kind of silk: nubby, dense, and matte, but with a drape so luxurious you know it just has to be silk.

      The dress is lined with a plain-weave 100% Tencel fabric from in a fair-labor mill in India. It was dyed in-studio with eco-friendly fiber-reactive dyes to be a bright saffron yellow (the same color as our Saffron Dot fabric). In the light, you can see a glimmer of the yellow through the fabric (especially through the bits of the woven pattern that are sheer), which I like to think gives the dress a bit of extra panache.

      In addition to the fabric, this dress uses cotton thread, a YKK zipper, a metal hook and eye, and organic cotton labels.

       

      Fit

      Take a look at our Size Guide to find your size.

      The Darla is fitted in the bust and waist, so use both of those measurements when determining your size. The style runs slightly small, so size up if you're in between sizes.

      Sophie is wearing a size 4 and is 5'8" with a 36" bust, 28" waist, and 38" hip.
