Our romance dresses are best sellers. The Kabuki print, with its striking colours, is a favourite. It's an original Megan Salmon print that's perfect for any season! Pair back with leggings for extra warmth in the cooler months. It has a gorgeous boat neckline that is very elegant, full length sleeves and a high waist that minimizes your upper body. The skirt of the dress is a full a-line shape brought in to a bell shape by strategically placed darts at the hem. This gives the dress lots of looseness in the hip without feeling like a sack.

Behind the design
Megan consistently draws inspiration from Japanese art, and the Kabuki print originated from a picture she discovered of two Japanese actors performing in a drama. Kabuki is a traditional Japanese theatrical art form. The image has been skillfully simplified for screen printing, using just 4 colors. Its striking stylisation highlights strong black sections that frame the scene beautifully.
This version maintains clarity while expressing the details about the Kabuki print and Megan's inspiration succinctly.
