The Lantern is tailoring that arrives as one long line. A sleeveless bodice with a shawl collar and a covered button placket runs into a high waist, a self-tie belt and a deep double-pleat wide leg in Italian wool-silk that falls without a break from hip to floor. Boned at the side seams so the front stays flat through a long lunch, lined in cupro to the hip, with slim welt pockets and a hidden left-seam zip. Garnet for a spring carnival marquee, ink for a black tie wedding, mulberry for December on the harbour. Hemmed to your heel, made to order.
We choose our cloth from long-established mills in India, where these fibres have been woven for generations, and hold every roll to the same standard before it is cut. Your piece is then made up by hand in our Australian atelier.
Wash cool and gently, dry in the shade, and press on a low heat. Silk and linen are happiest dry cleaned.
Australian sizing, AU 6 to AU 16. Cut true to size. Between sizes, take the larger for a relaxed line.
Made to order in limited runs and dispatched from our Australian atelier within 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping on every order, or fast shipping for $5. 30-day returns on unworn pieces with tags attached.
Australian sizing, measured in centimetres on the body. Between sizes? The fit note on each piece says whether to go up or down.
