Meaning “Beautiful Night”, our Bella Notte print is a dramatic tribute to romance. The seated woman in the trees with her dreamy, faraway gaze was painted in 1880 by artist & poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, while the charming rabbit comes from a much earlier painting done in 1585. 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 an antique gold ring. The beautiful moonlit river landscape on the bodice comes from an 1840's British oil painting, and the exquisite floral trim is from the border of a calligraphic manuscript by William Morris. 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 wearing a full or half-slip with this style.
