DescriptionEnsemble consisting of tan sustainable hemp burlap sleeveless shift dress with single box pleat down CF from neckline to hem with four rows of decorative topstitching down center, and pair of white cork ankle boots

Label Text:The sleek, origami style folds of Stella McCartney’s shift dress eliminate the need for extra pattern pieces, adding visual interest without wasting fabric, and the warm, earth-toned hemp was colored using low-impact dye. While McCartney has always advocated cruelty-free materials, she now consistently integrates additional elements of sustainable design into her work.
