Origami Dress 1961

Sale price$595.00

With a deep plunge in the front and open back, Origami is a special occasion dress for any time you need to make an entrance. Lined skirt and very comfortable back closure makes this dress surprisingly easy to wear.

We looked at a lot of 70s dresses to get the right combination of insouciance and glamor.

Due to the scale of the print, print placement varies on finished garments.

This dress is intentionally cut long so that it can be customized to your height. Please expect to tailor the hem. It is available in a small bra cup version. Please reach out with fit questions.

100% BCI Cotton. Printed in Italy. Cut and Sewn Upstate.
Wash gentle cold and hang dry.

“This is my second dress from Language of the Birds. I never regret my purchases. The value of comfort, style, quality are worth it. I still wear the dress I bought over 7 years ago :)”

“This dress is gorgeous. I have it now in three prints and love them all. The construction is detailed and the owner is a dream to work with. I’m so happy with my latest purchase!”
