Dwynwen
£400.00
Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of love, and this dress feels like she deserves the name. She's a bias-cut maxi with a cowl neck and a long flowing silhouette. The bodice is fully lined.
Like all Blodau dresses, Dwynwen is made from ethically sourced peace silk and dyed by hand at home using natural plant dyes – madder (reds, shown here in blush), indigo (blues) and marigold (yellows), with more colours to come as things grow. Each dress is also available in undyed ivory. Because I dye every piece myself, no two are ever identical. The colour you get is completely your own.
Please note that colours shown are a guide only. Natural plant dyes mean every piece comes out a little differently, so yours may vary slightly from what's pictured.
The model is a size 12 and 5ft7. Plastic-free and fully biodegradable. Available in all Blodau colours.
