Story

The Hummingbird appears to float above the ground without effort, but her remarkable grace comes from a series of calculated movements. With a classic A-line silhouette and a versatility that comes from a layering-friendly cut (wear it by itself in the summer; wear it with tights and a turtleneck when it's cold), the Hummingbird's appearance of simplicity is deceptive.

Its perfect A-line shape comes from strategically placed darts, its fun scalloped hem from meticulously drafted and stitched curves. Imperceptible to her viewer, the Hummingbird works tirelessly to achieve her goal, all while making her efforts look like no trouble at all.

Materials

This dress is made of a blend of cotton and silk, crafted in India by skilled artisans on a handloom. The fabric is substantial but not thick, textured but not scratchy, light-catching but not shimmery, and is quite breathable for warm-weather wear. The base is a warm ivory accented by lime green and a magenta — a palette reminiscent of greenery surrounding redbud blossoms in the early spring.

In addition to the fabric, this dress uses organic cotton thread, two vintage mother of pearl buttons, one vintage metal snap, and organic cotton garment labels.

Fit

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

The Hummingbird is pretty forgiving as far as sizing goes, but it is most fitted in the bust, so use that measurement when determining your size. If you're in between sizes, I recommend sizing up if you'd like a looser, more tunic-like dress and sizing down if you'd like a more curve-hugging look.

Sarah is wearing a size 4 and is 5'9" with a 33" bust, 24" waist, and 35" hip.
