The Dawning Bohéme Slip Dress
That moment just before the light breaks.
The Dawning is our celebration of alchemy in motion — the turning of darkness into light, and shadow into hope. With this piece we reimagine the story of Ophelia not as an ending, but as a beginning…luminous and awake to possibility. At the heart of our design is a dreamy, lyrical 1868 oil painting by artist Victor Müller. His Ophelia feels ethereal and almost fairylike, as if she belongs as much to the natural world as to herself. We crowned her with a halo of golden stars — symbols of illumination and renewal — and added two gentle fawns to guide and accompany her. The flowing scrollwork borrowed from an antique Art Nouveau book cover by Alphonse Mucha lends this design its romantic, fairytale quality, and the trim features William Morris’ Honeysuckle print, reinterpreted in moody tones of dark ivory and deep rust. As a final touch, we trimmed the placket and sleeves with a print taken from a 17th-century calligraphy border originally painted in teal ink and real gold. The Dawning is an ode to transformation — a piece for those who know they hold the power to change their own story. It’s a reminder that every dawn brings the chance to begin afresh — and rise up.
The adjustable straps, oversized cut, and soft, flowy bamboo viscose make our Bohéme dresses a wardrobe staple for layering, running errands, dancing, lounging or napping — and they’re also a must-have for travel, wherever you roam. You can also wear this piece two ways, with the honeysuckle print on the front of the bodice, or the back — depending on your mood.
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. Shown worn with our Dawning Matinée Duster. (sold separately). This piece is also reversible.
100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.
We take all our measurements on a garment lying flat. Approximate measurements w/ Adjustable Straps: S/M — length 132cm at shortest strap adjustment, 142cm at longest. Width 52cm (across bust, underarm to underarm), 54cm (across waist seam). L/XL — 134 cm length at shortest strap adjustment, 144cm at longest. Width 57cm (across bust, underarm to underarm), 59 cm (across waist seam).
