Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

A blurred print is deliberately out of focus. It reads as movement even when you are standing still. There is no motif to place on the body, only tone.

Second Female made the Cast in soft, semi-sheer viscose printed all over in that blur, in black. The neckline crosses over to form a V at the front.

It is from a past season and it is reduced. It was bought because a printed dress with no pattern to line up is the easiest printed dress there is to wear. That is still true. Two remain. One is an S, which is an AU 8. The other is an L, an AU 12.

Second Female is cut in Copenhagen to European sizing. Australian sizes are the same as UK sizes, so the UK column is your Australian size: a Second Female M is a UK and AU 10, an EU 38. 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.

Choosing between two sizes

Most Second Female styles are true to size. Fitted styles and structured fabrics are the exception, and there the house recommends the larger size. Relaxed shapes and knits with give can take the smaller one. Blazers and jackets want a little room across the shoulders and bust. Any style that runs differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.
Inseam: from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.

Caring for Second Female

Wool, alpaca and mohair knits: hand wash, or a gentle wool cycle with wool detergent. Dry flat. Store folded, never on a hanger.

Leather: wipe with a damp cloth. Condition regularly so it does not dry out. Keep it away from heat and direct sun.

Cotton: wash cold and gently. Air dry to keep the shape and avoid shrinkage.

Denim: wash sparingly and inside out to protect the colour. Air dry.

For every other fabric, follow the care label sewn into the piece.
