BA&SH

ba&sh Catelina Dress, Kaki

$470.00

ba&sh house sizing. 1 is an AU 8. A guide.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

The straps are fine gold chain. Everything else about the Catelina is print. The print is doing the dressing.

ba&sh drew it somewhere between leopard and python, in browns that sit closer to bark than to anything loud. It is cut as a slip. A V at the front, a low scooped back, a skirt that falls to mid calf and moves when you walk. They have it made in Morocco in polyester, which is what keeps a print this fine crisp at the edges.

We bought it in two colourways. The bleu is the softer of the pair and wants a flat sandal. Kaki is the one that wears with boots. It carries on into the cooler months under a knit thrown over the shoulders.

In February the evenings stay warm until nine and nobody moves inside. A dress like this is right from the first glass to the last.

ba&sh is a Paris house and labels most pieces in its own sizes, 0 to 4, with trousers in French sizes. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes. The house publishes the conversion: a ba&sh 0 is an AU 6, 1 an AU 8, 2 an AU 10, 3 an AU 12 and 4 an AU 14. In French sizes, a 36 is an AU 8 and a 38 an AU 10. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Choosing between two sizes

ba&sh publishes one chart and no separate fit advice, so read your size from your measurements. The house number sits well below the Australian one: a ba&sh 1 is an AU 8 and a 2 an AU 10. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, the tape straight and taut.
Waist: around the narrowest part of the natural waistline, above the navel and below the ribcage.
Hip: around the lowest and fullest part of the hip.
