A modern iteration of the elevated cotton day dress, the Florentine midi makes a statement while achieving an effortless elegance. The embroidery vivid, framed by the square neckline, frill sleeves and flared hem, finishing just below the knee, with a cutout back detailing and single button fastening.
Featuring an array of striking daywear styles, the Florentine story highlights the magnificence of Temperley’s signature embroidery artwork. Originally hand-painted with exquisite detail and shading, combining basketry weave lattice with Jacobean vine motifs and medieval manuscript-inspired calligraphic flourishes, then replicated directly in meticulous stitchwork. A fresh and nuanced take on historical ornamentation, the result is vibrant and modern, enlivened by a bold colour palette and contrasting finishings.
On the breezy cotton base, the detailed embroidery is painted by hand, then recreated in distinctive stitchwork.
