Like an idyllic sunrise breaking over a calm sea, the Hans Christian Seashell Gown evokes early summer warmth. An illustrated garden blooms over charming puff sleeves, seashell-pleated underwire cups, and flowing maxi skirt. The print is inspired by Hans Christian Anderson folk tales. Wear this to wade wistfully in the water, braid your hair with flowers, or nibble sugared lemon tarts in the sunshine.
