Grey Floral Print Mulberry Silk Cotton Stand Collar Chinese Dress

https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN015937Pt1Hq6yjpiTCN_!!47270808.jpg The silhouette of this dress shares similarities with the "Misty Yellow" piece, maintaining a Chinese-inspired elegance while adding an ethereal quality. However, this particular print evokes not just an air of mystique, but a profound sense of softness. The exquisite print is rendered on a silk-cotton blend, a fabric cherished for summer. This iteration uniquely interweaves 6A-grade raw silk with cotton, preserving its inherent softness while introducing a subtle structure. This structure, however, is just enough to prevent clinging, perfectly described as "lightweight yet substantial, smooth yet retaining its form." It feels as if it weighs nothing, as delicate as a cicada's wing. A beautiful summer is hand-painted into existence, with various floral motifs vying for attention. There are lotuses, lilies, and daisies, alongside a few tiny oranges about to fall... A symphony of nature singing of summer's romance. Butterflies, drawn to the nectar, eagerly flutter by, a vibrant mix of purple, blue, and pink... They pause in the blossoms for an afternoon rest, enveloped by fragrant sunshine, wishing this summer could last just a little longer. A long dress that balances a refined sensibility on the upper half with a sense of spaciousness on the lower half, creating a unique, subtly Chinese aesthetic. It's charming, romantic, elegant, and brimming with the vibrancy of life. Featuring a small stand collar and a half-placket opening, the front closure incorporates traditional Chinese knot buttons, reimagined with a contemporary touch for a youthful appeal. This design reflects a modern perspective and a subtle interplay between tradition and modernity. The slightly dropped shoulder line offers a forgiving fit while lending a clean, structured look to the shoulders. The placket extends to the waist, where fine pleats create a naturally flowing skirt with a generous flare. A single drawstring allows for an adjustable silhouette. The waistline features a subtle gather, just enough to be flattering without being overwhelming. The skirt, both slimming and ethereal, drapes elegantly, offering a sense of effortless grace. Wear it to cup cool spring water in your hands by a mountain stream, walk barefoot in sandals deeper into the grass, or stroll along a pebble path, and let the summer fragrance of the season be as lovely as the flowers on your dress. Warm reminder: The fabric is lightweight and requires an underlayer. Alternatively, pair with a camisole on top and safety shorts below. Please note that the print is randomly distributed, making each piece unique, though all are beautiful. Care instructions: Hand wash only, do not machine wash. Use a dedicated silk detergent. https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/51479120/O1CN016jtj0M2HF15u9tmWa_!!51479120.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN014wUqpw1Hq6yjA9hlO_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN015WTlne1Hq6yhgFCCn_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01agMdn81Hq6yl99ihn_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01HwrPEP1Hq6yhYNfO8_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01Yk4tPf1Hq6yjuFkzR_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01abdUEI1Hq6yjpisA2_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01FzdE9e1Hq6yhYOTHS_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01uL6hKu1Hq6yhYL7MI_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01GH3Oad1Hq6yhBmyQ2_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01PGuEV91Hq6yjAAVil_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01fldjAC1Hq6ymKe0dQ_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01LxHuMX1Hq6ynftEuR_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01k7BMx71Hq6yjQ3dWN_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01bJNJWc1Hq6ylFaZKn_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i4/47270808/O1CN01AIiIAp1Hq6ylFaIhZ_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01j8Va591Hq6ym5y8Ch_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i4/47270808/O1CN01ffMml41Hq6yjQ3hha_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01e0uRXF1Hq6yhBpBdG_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01wcVqoV1Hq6yjABiZt_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01wZLvnY1Hq6yjpm5n8_!!47270808.jpg https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/47270808/O1CN01Kc8mpm1Hq6yhBpO7X_!!47270808.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01NiP6ZT1zMec7wzuRN_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01Puw62N1zMec3Y9ga6_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN016RPgbj1zMec3EC3de_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01G5NmyJ1zMec4yynHO_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN017WFQQ91zMec6QHRve_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01JcyRtf1zMec992ZHz_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN014Nnpva1zMebxrsmSW_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg https://cbu01.alicdn.com/img/ibank/O1CN01lBaRFU1zMec7wydVL_!!2214685846700-0-cib.jpg
