Market of Stars Bella Notte Bohéme Slip Dress

The open book at the bottom of the design reads “Many are the stars I see, yet in my eye no star like thee” — words which we took from an engraving inside the band of a gold ring made in the 1700’s. The beautiful moonlit river landscape on the bodice of the dress comes from an 1840’s British oil painting, and the exquisite floral trim is from the border of a calligraphic manuscript by famed artist William Morris from the same era. Interestingly, the model for the woman in Rossetti’s painting is Jane Morris, wife to William Morris. She was a talented artist in her own right, and an enigmatic muse to both her husband and Rossetti throughout the Arts & Crafts movement. Like all of our slip dresses, this piece is reversible.

Please note: The nature of our soft bamboo/wood viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend layering it with our Étoile slip (or any other slip you have) when wearing it with bare legs. Our model in the photos is wearing the dress without a slip.
