Mary Petty Dress - Black 8 / Small
Product details
W'Menswear was founded by Lauren Yates in 2015, born out of a desire to produce high quality, heritage-inspired garments for women - with a nuanced and ever-evolving perspective on femininity at the intersections of fashion, workwear, military garments, and history. Originally operating out of a converting shipping container in Bangkok, the brand has grown substantially with each new collection, employing specialty and custom fabrics as well as partnering with local workshops & artisans.
The F/W '23 collection, titled "Flying in Crosswinds", pays homage in part to Margaret "Maggie" Gee, a physicist and pilot, and one of the only two Chinese-American women to fly as a Women's Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) in WWII. These styles explore the way clothes have been used to reinforce and resist different political ideologies - repurposing and reimagining military styles into functional and flattering workwear.
The Mary Petty dress is a pleated hourglass silhouette dress with some subtle nods to Victorian style and contemporary details. It's cut mid length, with double box pleats and the front and back, as well as an invisible zip closure down the back, balloon sleeves, and a custom collar button. It's made from a lightweight 100% cotton poplin fabric with just the right blend of drape and stiffness.
Wash cold and hang dry.
