The Lyvia Dress


Say hello to Lyvia! She is my new romantic dream dress, specially created to be part of my Pansy Romance capsule this year, and I couldn't have envisioned a more perfect romantic dream! 

Lyvia takes inspiration from many of the romantic vintage dresses I have sourced over the years, and while sourcing the vintage for Pansy Romance this year it was starkly apparent I would never possibly be able to find enough romantic dreamies to share with you all, so Lyvia was born! She is packed with the those vintage details we all love and she is honestly the prettiest pink dream there ever was! Lyvia has the most gorgeous silhouette with a stunning super full swooshing skirt, the best ruffle detailing, beautiful full length voluminous sleeves with frill cuffs, a square neckline, a flattering high waist with attached side ties to cinch, and she also has floral lined POCKETS! Lyvia sits beautifully on the body and her skirt drapes like pure magic!  She has a concealed zipper at her back and a beautiful squared neckline which is also low at her back. 

She has been lovingly handcrafted in five metres of stunning super soft Oeko Tex standard cottons with stunning mixed ditsy bloom rose florals. While she is not true vintage, she has been crafted beautifully with a professional finish to truly replicate an original 1970s beauty, she truly is just as precious!

Our Made by Pansy line is in VERY limited supply and once we have used a fabric, we may never be able to recreate her again, all dresses are LIMITED EDITION. All dresses are MADE TO ORDER especially for you!

She can safely be washed on a short cool cycle at home and hung to dry and steam out her creases! While Connie may not be a true vintage dress, she is just as special, please treat her as such. 

HOW TO ORDER!

When placing your order please choose your designated size from our size chart and add this into notes section when checking out. Connie is customisable in length and can be made in ANY length you desire. Please also add your desired length measurement in the notes section when checking out, either in Centimetres or Inches. A good way of knowing your ideal length is to check on a dress you already own. Simply measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem. If you forget to do this please email us with your order number and chosen size and length measurement. We CANNOT start on your order until we have ALL of your details!

Please allow approx up to 4-6 weeks for your beautiful dress to be made (although this could be much sooner!). Once she is ready she will then be dispatched to you. This is SLOW fashion, please be patient while the magic is happening! If your beautiful dress is ready before the lead time, she will be shipped to you sooner! Trust me, Lyvia is ABSOLUTELY worth waiting for. 

Our Made by Pansy dresses are beautifully handcrafted by a small team of creators in England. This means our manufacture process is as sustainable as possible for our system, with fair pay, low carbon emissions, meanwhile boosting our local economy and industry by supporting fellow indie creatives. This also means we aren't mass producing garments and having wastage! YAY!

For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

 

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
