Although Mary Read spent most of her life disguised as a man, when she was taking down time from plundering the high seas, she dressed as a woman. Just because you’re wearing a beautiful dress inspired by the famous spirited pirate, it does not necessarily mean you should capture treasure and jewels from unsuspecting seafarers. Seeing you in this dress, any gallant gentleman would simply hand them over anyway!
Materials: The floral top half is made from 100% cotton and the skirt half is made from masses of a variety of fabrics including organic cotton gauze, cotton jersey and other cotton blends. The belt is from chocolate brown chenille tied with a suede cord.
Ideas: Wear with a swashbuckling flourish, chunky boots and a sword for a unique pirate outfit. Or wear with sandals and shawl for a lovely fairytale Cinderella look; the collar is detachable for versatility. The dress will twirl out when you spin, so add ballet shoes and wear for dancing on the sand.
This is a fabulous item of clothing lovingly re-made by Oshun Creations. This means that as if by magic, unwanted clothes and fabric are transformed into new ones that are much much prettier! You can say they are recycled, reconstructed, revamped, but the fashionable new term is ‘upcycled’. I like to to call it re-loved and recreated! I don’t use patterns; developing each garment organically, so every outfit is completely unique , handmade and one of a kind. No-one else will own one like it! |
