ATHENA EMBELLISHED SHOULDER COWL BACK MIDI DRESS
The most special of dresses: the stunning vibrant blue, contrast embellishments at the shoulders & waist - and that beautiful back!
Gorgeous from every angle, the Athena dress is the perfect piece to make you feel great at that Wedding - from sitting down at the ceremony with the beautiful back on show, to standing out at the drinks reception & twinkling under the lights when it’s time to dance!
It’s elegant & covered up with slim long sleeves, midi length & not-too-low V neck, whilst showing off & flattering your figure too - it’s also fully lined and the back is high enough to wear a bra with.
A season-less style, the Athena dress could be worn at any time of the year for so many occasions - special meals out, christenings or parties. It’s statement with all it’s beautiful details yet a wearable, simple silhouette.
This dress was a bestseller in the emerald green, if you love the cobalt blue be sure to get it now: we only produce 70 of each design! Sizes sell out very fast & we won’t be reproducing this one yet. Get a unique look you won’t find on the high street!
Dress is true to size, if a little generous - we recommend your usual size or go smaller if in between. Size shown is UK 8.
Dress is fully lined & fastens with a centre back concealed zip. Back is high enough to wear a bra, with the cowl back piece adding extra coverage.

**SHIPMENTS TO REPUBLIC OF IRELAND TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED (JAN 2021)**
Unfortunately due to Brexit issues, it is with much regret we have decided to temporarily suspend all shipments to ROI.
Our courier DPD has not been able to forward plan for this transition and has not advised us of all the costs involved now with shipping to Ireland as a British business, being outside of the EU.
The options open to us are to pass on all costs to the customer or to absorb all costs as a business within the price of our goods. This may well work on full price goods if margins were very good but on Sale items it would mean us making a loss. i.e. a £50 dress would incur costs of approx £9 shipping + £9 DPD fees + any other 'disbursement' fees in country.
As much as we want to honour all orders it's not possible as a business to work like this.

As a small brand we have always done amazing business with Ireland & we love our Irish customers very much, so we are working this month to try to find a way around this situation going forward.
It is only a temporary measure as we are amassing a backlog of orders due to DPD initially suspending all Irish shipments in January and now the costs of actually sending goods.
We need to stop orders for a while to give us chance to try overcome this.
We pride ourselves on offering a great service to Ireland, only 2 days tracked! and I hope we'll be able to continue this in Spring when we find a way to move forward.
Thank you for continuing to support us.
