Mes Demoiselles Calm Dress, Beige

$699.00

French sizing. 36 is an AU 8, 38 an AU 10, 40 an AU 12. A guide.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

Tie and dye is usually a contrast trick. Tone on tone is the harder version, because the pattern has to hold together without a strong colour doing the work.

The Calm runs soft pinks into greens at close range and reads as one luminous beige from across a room. Mes Demoiselles make it in 100% shiny viscose, which carries the dye with a low sheen and falls close to the body. The cut has an enveloping volume, a drawstring takes the waist in as far as you want it and generous three-quarter sleeves add to the movement.

Midi length, designed in Paris by a house whose founder, Anita Radovanovic, designs for women drawn to art and travel.

Made for a lunch that runs on into dinner. The drawstring takes the waist in at the start and lets it out by the end.

Mes Demoiselles is a Paris house and labels its pieces in one of two ways: in French sizes, 34 to 44, or in its own sizes 0, 1 and 2, each of which covers two French sizes. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes, so read across to the UK column of the house chart. A French 36 is an AU 8 and a French 38 an AU 10. A house 0 is an AU 6 to 8, a 1 an AU 10 to 12 and a 2 an AU 14 to 16. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements. The French column is the size on most labels; pieces in house sizes are labelled 0, 1 or 2.

Choosing between two sizes

Mes Demoiselles publishes one chart for every style and no separate fit advice, so read your size from your measurements. A French number is two below the Australian one: a French 38 is an AU 10. Where a piece comes in house sizes, each covers two French sizes, so a 1 takes in both an AU 10 and an AU 12. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Chest: around the widest point of the chest and shoulder blades, arms hanging by your sides.
Waist: around the narrowest part of the waist, the tape snug but not tight.
Hip: around the widest point of the hips.

Caring for Mes Demoiselles

The care label sewn into each piece is the authority. On the house's cotton dresses it reads: hand wash only, do not tumble dry, iron gently.

Still not sure

We have handled these pieces and can tell you how a particular style sits against the chart. Write to us before you order, or come and try it in Red Hill. The full edit is in our Mes Demoiselles collection.

Cold gentle machine wash or hand wash. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat in the shade and cool iron.
