The Helena Dress - Lace Silk and Cotton

Alexandra King

The Helena dress, part of the Romantics collection and inspired by the Edwardian themed films Howard's End and A Room With A View. 
Given my usual fifties twist with a significantly raised hem length and full skirt the dress still takes on a soft romantic silhouette with a sheer lace long sleeved bodice. A pleated raw silk sash highlights the waist and the skirt made from a vintage piece of beautifully smooth cotton has just the right texture. 

Wild curls and cream ballet flats would finish this off beautifully.
