PRE ORDER TCD Marilyn Dress - Lilac Lace

(4 WEEKS TURNAROUND WITH ANY PRE-ORDER ITEM)

A little old-school glamour... Marilyn is back.

Returning from the TCD archives, the Marilyn Dress takes her inspiration from Marilyn Monroe — celebrating curves, movement and that wonderful feeling of wearing a dress with a little bit of drama.

Soft gathering through the bust and a seam just beneath it create beautiful shape through the bodice, while the dress follows the body before opening into a wonderfully flowing hem. The V neckline at the front and soft U neckline at the back keep things feminine and uncomplicated.

But it's when you start moving that Marilyn really comes to life. Godet panels — extra sections of fabric cleverly inserted into the lower skirt — create gorgeous fullness and swing as you walk, turn or, even better... take her dancing.
