This delightful dress from the house of Souleiado in the south of France will bring an authentic taste of Provence to wherever you are. If you've been here for a while, you'll know by now that I just adore everything vintage Souleiado! Their pieces are always perfection.

Souleiado's time-honoured designs have their origins in the 16th century, when vibrant Indian fabrics found their way onto the shores of southern France. Of course the real Indian imports were extremely rare and expensive, so people studied the techniques and began to produce their own versions. Beautiful patterns were carved into wood blocks and the fabrics were all hand printed using natural dyes. Souleiado is the oldest surviving maker of these "Indienne" textiles, established in 1806. It was taken over by the Demerys in 1916 and given the name Souleiado in 1939, which means “a ray of sunshine piercing through the clouds after the rain”.

This dress is in perfect condition. As with every Souleiado piece I've encountered from this era, it has real pockets!

I'd say it's best for XS to S. Check the measurements and don't hesitate if you have any other questions!

Bust: 31 in / 78 cm (my 33 in bust fits but isn't totally comfortable!)

Empire waist: up to 28 in / 70 cm

Length: 44 in / 112 cm

Shipping

How long will it take for my package to arrive?

Orders are typically shipped within 3 business days. If for some reason the delay will be longer, you will be informed. Once it's on its way, it normally takes 3 to 15 business days to arrive, depending on your location.

How is the cost of shipping determined?

The price of shipping in France is determined by the weight and thickness of the package. The heavier it is, the more it costs. If the package is under 3 centimetres it can be considered a "letter" and will be cheaper, but if it's over 4 centimetres it will be considered a package and cost more. I do my very best to stay under 3 cm and keep your shipping cost down but it is not always possible. (I charge the actual cost of shipping plus the percentage of the fees taken by the payment system. I do not take a profit from the shipping cost.)

Will I receive a tracking number?

Every package will come with a tracking number.
