The Pirr Dress

£185.00

Pirr. A Shetlandic word for a light breath of wind that ruffles the surface of the water. We named this dress after it because it has that same quality — something gentle and soft-moving, a gathered frill at the neck, and blue gingham that shifts in the light like water does.


Garment description

Cut from a blue and white gingham cotton and cream seersucker, the Pirr Dress falls long. It has pintucks on one side of the chest and buttons on the other so it can be worn either way round. 

A small gathered frill sits at the neckline and cuff. Pintucks run along the cuffs and hem. In-seam pockets. Versatile enough to be worn over other pieces or under a jacket, or simply on its own.

Available in two fabrics:

  • Blue and white gingham cotton

  • Cream seersucker
