The top of this dress is a traditional cotton jersey sailor shirt with 3/4 sleeves and 2 buttons at the shoulder opening. The organic cotton jersey is grown in Texas, spun and knit in North Carolina. It is high waisted and the skirt is gathered. Wear it walking along rocky beaches, jumping over seaweed and picking rose-hips all the way to the lighthouse. Add a sweater on boat rides, and watch the waves for seals and the sky for osprey! The perfect dress for all seasons.

Inspired by the combination of two hand-painted shawl designs originally created for Liberty in the 19th century, Adelphi Voyage forms a spectacular hand-drawn paisley rainforest of tropical palms, feathery leaves and fern fronds. It was drawn with painstaking detail to achieve a rich depth of colour

The collection this print is from takes us on a journey through layers of fantastical worlds – an adventure into the vibrant realm of the imagination, celebrating the magic of the strange and unexpected. For this collection, the Liberty Fabrics designers focus on the art of storytelling through ‘Literature’, ‘Music’ and ‘Theatre’: a feast for the senses, woven through with a vivid narrative of creativity and escapism. Together these three stranded stories combine into a magical collection where nothing is ever quite as it seems.
