Curator's Note:

A beautifully 1970s maxi dress from Pallas Original, hand-loomed in the Republic of Ireland from 100% pure Irish linen.

The finely ribbed bodice gently contours the silhouette before flowing into an intricately worked openwork skirt with undulating cable motifs and richly textured stitchwork. A high stand collar with delicate button detailing and a matching self-tie belt complete the silhouette.

A striking example of traditional Irish textile craftsmanship, showcasing the remarkable structure, texture and natural drape of hand-loomed linen.
