Kaat Tilley Cream Linen Dress with Leaf Detail.

 Kaat Tilley Cream Linen Dress

A unique bespoke piece by Kaat Tilley.

Cream long sleeve dress with full circle skirt, fitted bust and a connected wrap around belt. A leaf motif in a circle is center front, made from twisting bias binding that meanders along the shaped neckline twisting up into loops. The unique use of binding to create organic vine like shapes and detail is a Kaat Tilley signature. Closed down the back with linen covered buttons and rouleau loop button holes. The belt has multiple long ties which can be tied around to the front or to hang at the back. A imaginative and inspiring piece from the 90s by the magical Belgian designer Kaat Tilley.

Kaat Tilley is a Belgian Flemish designer known for her ethereal romantic and otherworldly designs. Her designs have been described as being midway between fashion and art. Particularly of note is her imaginative use of unusual textiles, her structural use of binding and her unconventional pattern cutting - it is rare to see a straight line in Kaat Tilley's work. Through her designs she created her own magical world and to own and wear her garments is to be transported there. 

Size is unmarked I believe it is best for S-M and due to the waist being belted there is some ability to adjust the fit.
