The Prior dress seamlessly blends fluid silk crepe, accented by custom lace that enhances the waistline, and elegantly finishes with finely ribbed knit sleeves and upper body. Its relaxed skirt shape gently skims the hips before subtly flaring out towards the hem.

• 100% silk (China)
• Dying/finishing in Italy

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.

This mill takes great care in cultivating its silk, including organically grown mulberry plants for silkworm consumption. The yarns are then spun in the southwest part of China, bordering Tibet. This mill complies with the following standards: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA).

This Italian factory was founded in 2003 by three women, two of whom are sisters with impressive family lineage in fashion and garment craftsmanship. Their grandmother was a gifted talent scout who discovered Martin Margiela, among others, and their father dedicated a lifetime to the art of traditional tailoring.
