Dress “Violet Madras”

This two-sided dress is perfectly symmetrical, versatile, it can be worn on both sides. It combines the purple checked patterns of a Madras weave with the shiny reflections of an artisanal silk from Thailand.

It is by combining these fabrics with intense colors that Julie was inspired to create this unique dress. Before having had the honor of reworking these superb fabrics in her studio, the designer spent years collecting and studying the fabrics and the stories they tell. This deep interest in combining textiles of all kinds is the basis of her creative process.

The cut of this rather flared dress from bottom to top is perfectly symmetrical, without darts at the chest. Its modestly scooped neckline can sometimes fall slightly on the shoulder. It can be tightened at the waist with a belt from the collection for another style. It's a versatile dress: rather loose and airy for walking around in summer, or rather dressed up and tightened with a belt at the waist.

Made with great care and finesse, this unique piece, entirely handmade, required five hours of work, from researching the fabrics to the stages of its manufacture.
