I Dream in Flowers Bohéme Slip Dress
Sometimes — while oftentimes actually if we’re being honest — we design a piece for the purely selfish reason that we want to wear it ourselves ;) The I Dream in Flowers dress was definitely one of these pieces — created using a masterful floral oil painting from the early 1600’s by artist Jan Brueghel, and trimmed with an ink drawing of bumblebees found in a Victorian insect encyclopedia. It has the look and feel of a timeless, vintage piece that will never go out of style.
The adjustable straps, oversized cut, and soft, flowy bamboo viscose make our Bohéme dresses a wardrobe staple for layering, running errands, dancing, lounging or napping — and they’re also a must-have for travel, wherever you roam. You can also wear this piece two ways, with the dragonfly on the front of the bodice, or the back — depending on your mood.
Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend layering it with our Étoile slip (or any other slip you have) when wearing it with bare legs. Our model in the photos is wearing the dress without a slip.

With its stunning painted flowers and flowy cut, this dress is truly a bohemian dream. We’ll be wearing it though fall layered up with tights, a cardigan, and a leather belt, and through summer with sandals and a straw bag. We love it paired with a cropped blazer and a wedge heel too for a romantic, polished look. And don’t forget events — this dress is delightful to dance in! Add a pair of chandelier earrings and the matching I Dream in Flowers scarf as a shawl… so beautiful.

The artisan, the wandering spirit. Women who roam through museums and gardens and untamed places, finding beauty wherever they look. Women who are works of art.

Jan Bruegel was a highly influential Flemish artist, perhaps best known for his lavish, colourful, and highly detailed floral paintings. Many of his still-life floral arrangements are combinations of common flowers and very rare ones, and often are composed of flowers that bloom during different seasons. He regularly travelled outside of his home in Antwerp so he could find and sketch unusual flowers for his painted bouquets. The effusive colours and delightful details in his work are rich, celebratory and (we think) pure magic when printed on to our soft bamboo fabric.

In the dark, she dreams flowers. Larkspur and lilac, white hawthorn blooming moonlight on the bed. In the cotton and hay her breath shivers with perfume and pollen, a feast for bees. Their soft velvet hum like a blanket. She dreams flowers, white lilies line the path to her heart like lanterns. Her chest is tangled and tender, the prickles of regret the sweet hope of alyssum. Her arms are strong as branches, fists a flourish of blossoms she will not let go.
