Inspiration:

Gamine supermodel Twiggy, neé Lesley Lawson, was the fashion icon and face of London’s swinging Mod sixties. The A-line shape freed women from and sleek construction of the trapeze dress defined 1960s fashion. This silhouette was both functional and ultra-modern.

Why we love it:

• If we had to pick one word to describe the Lawson it’s: Ease. 
• The trapeze shape is forgiving and comfortable, but the crisp clean lines keep the styles supremely elegant.

Fit notes and construction details:

• Trapeze, A-line shift dress
• Jewel neckline
• Side seam pockets that comfortably hold even an iPhone Plus
• Invisible back zip with hook & eye closure.
• Hits just above the knee.
• This style is made from silk-wool and does not contain any stretch materials. Please mind our size guide when selecting your size. We do not do vanity sizing, therefore one might consider we run small.
• Email us or send us a text for additional sizing help.
• Made in Los Angeles

Styling ideas:

• You can change up the look of this dress by adding the Coco or Jackie removable collar — an accessory common in 1960s haute couture.
• The Lawson dress works as a cocktail dress with heels as pictured, but it can be worn with ballet flats or sandals for a more casual look. 
• We love when clients have shortened to make it into a tunic top paired with leggings or wide palazzo style pants like the Carole.
