Love Story Dalliance Dress

Swan Lake has undergone many interpretations over the years. Some see it as a battle between good and evil, or a representation of the human inner struggle against our most evil impulses. But despite these differing interpretations, in it's simplest form Swan Lake is a love story. The tale of two lovers who meet, swear undying love to one another, and ultimately die in the pursuit of their happy ever after.

Whilst it would be impossible for us to convey this achingly beautiful love story in one print, or one dress, we have tried! Our Love Story floral is so heartbreaking in her beautiful and delicacy, a floral created for a Swan Queen! And one which we envisage her wearing in her maiden form in an alternate ending to the Swan Lake fairytale, where Odette and Siegfried defeat those who would challenge their love, marry, and enjoy the happy ending they were never granted in the ballet.

We've chosen to craft our Debutante gown in heavy cotton this time, to bring out the delicacy of the Love Story print. Her majestic tiered skirt will billow around you as you move, evoking the movement of balletic swans in unison. The double ruffled sleeves represent the wings of the swan maidens as they glide away across the water.

Wear her to create you own undying love story!

With her flamboyant mini length, skirt trimmed with ruffles, and that delectable long bow train at the back (which is also detachable!), you will be spoilt for ways to wear our Dalliance dress! Now available in breathable heavy cotton to keep you feeling as beautiful as you look!
