All Rights Reserved.Our favourite button-down shirt dress is back in a new print that we’re completely buzzing about! Meronti is crafted from a beautifully textured Livaeco™ Viscose Moroccan crepe fabric in an all-over flora and fauna print inspired by Maria Sibylla Merian’s seventeenth-century illustrations. Featuring a functional button-down front leading to a small retro collar, grown-on sleeves with a turn-back detail, a matching self-tie belt to nip in the waist, and patch pockets at the hip, it’s no wonder Meronti is making our hearts flutter like a butterfly!At a time when insects were believed to magically appear, known as ‘spontaneous generation’, talented artist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was one of the first to closely observe and document the process of metamorphosis. Embarking on the first recorded expedition undertaken solely for the purpose of scientific research, her stunning and meticulous illustrations revolutionised the scientific community’s understanding of the life cycle of insects and their connection with their food plants.  Poppy is 5'11 and is wearing a size 16Regular fit - take your usual sizeSize 10 dress length is: 113cmTextured Livaeco™ Viscose Moroccan crepe fabricClassic shirt dress shapeTie-waist beltGrown-on sleeves with turn-back detailPatch pocketsCorozo buttonsAll-over flora and fauna printFor specific measurements of this garment, please see the Size Guide.
