Nancy Stella Soto

Hemp is soft and sculptural. Here, the materials are shaped into a skirt that exaggerates and takes advantage of those qualities. It makes a powerful, but simple statement, the shape of this skirt. Could be worn simply with something like a t-shirt or sweatshirt, and still make a significant impact visually. Pair it with something louder and you've got a party. Rear center zip closure.

Definitely one of the favorite dresses by Nancy Stella Soto to have graced these floors. Khaki and black make for a classic combination, as does this looong A-line silhouette. Hidden side seam pockets, and wooden button closure all down the back on a neat placket. Hand-made pleats adorn the sleeves, ornamental, origami-inspired, beautifully weird, and inspired.

NB: The pleats on this garment were made by hand. The fraying of the pleats is intentional and an integral part of the design. There are options to limit the fraying, such as commercial products Fray Check or Liquid Stitch.
