Cynthia Dress - Navy Cornfield

About the Print: Back by popular demand, this much-loved piece features Bob, a countryside cat with a knack for stealing the spotlight. Bob belonged to Jim, our photographer, and became an unexpected part of the Palava story when he kept wandering into shot during one of our earlier photo shoots.

The print itself is a border of pure Palava joy. From cornfields to wildflower meadows and where hedgehogs scurry, bugs bustle, and butterflies flit between the blooms. Hidden among it all are curious little creatures, each one with a story of its own. Set against a rich navy background with a pop of orange along the hem, it’s a scene that unfolds like the pages of a picture book, full of nature and classic Palava charm.

About the Style: Cynthia is the shirt dress of our dreams; featuring a pretty mandarin collar that can be worn up or turned down, three-quarter length sleeves, a belted waist, deep pockets, and a full skirt.

Our Cynthia dress creates a classic silhouette that looks flattering on a variety of figures thanks to the nipped-in waist. All our dresses also use Corozo nut buttons - no plastics round here! Our Cynthia has a slider belt. These combine timeless simplicity with a perfectly polished fit.

Who Made Your Dress? Cynthia is ethically made by Satnam and his team in our London factory. For more information on the fabrics we use at Palava, click here.
