A sighting of swallows means summer for us here in the UK.

About the Style: Rita is a shining star of a dress - the one you’ll dance the night away in, the one you’ll reach for again and again - the dress that memories are made in. Her structured waist, full skirt and flattering wrap neckline make Rita the perfect showcase dress for an hourglass figure. Rita’s clever tulip sleeves allow for full and unrestricted arm movement. Deep pockets sit invisibly in the side seams, making Rita not only beautiful but also practical.

Rita is made by Satnam and his team in our London factory.

About the Fabric: Tencel™

We love how drapey, soft and silky to touch Tencel™ is. Not only does it feel wonderful in a dress, it's also a natural material that is highly sustainable. The base material for Tencel comes from eucalyptus trees - which grow happily in harsh, dry conditions meaning no need for irrigation. For more information on Tencel and the other fabrics we use at Palava, click here.
