In Western symbolism, white is for purity, peace, virginity, spirituality (it's the colour of the papacy), life, passage and transmission. White is the best colour for reflecting rays of sunlight, ie keeping you cool. For some people, white is almost like a value - much more than just a colour!
White symbolises luxury, glory and success, but is also linked to infidelity and betrayal.
Fresh and retro, this dress has a touch of the gypsy/peasant style about it, with three-quarter length baggy sleeves and oversized button-up front. One to wear around town at the first sign of a summer heatwave - you'll look as cool as a cucumber.
We love: Retro, embroidered styles and fresh cotton, for simple, romantic transparence.
