Lison Dress – Printed Pattern – English | Cha' coud
Lison is a dress that will suit every season, whether worn with sneakers or a pair of boots. It features an open shirt collar attached to a V-neckline, and its ¾ leg-of-mutton sleeves are gathered at the cuff. The skirt starts just beneath the bust and is full of gathers to lengthen the figure.
Designed by French indie pattern label Cha' coud, Lison changes character with your fabric choice — crisp cotton for structure, drapey viscose for softness, cozy needlecord for winter.
