Why it's worth it
The red tulip bust is actually sculpted, not printed.
The Edit
Structured red tulip cups are sewn as a separate boned bodice element over a relaxed linen A-line skirt — the contrast seam between the two is the dress's whole argument. Richelieu cutwork along the scalloped hem is labor-intensive handwork, not a print. Spaghetti ties at the shoulder keep the construction light despite the bodice's volume.
Insider Tip
Euroflex linen has more give than standard linen — the bodice fits closer than it looks on the hanger.
Is now a good time?
