The Viola Dress. Simplicity itself. The Viola Dress is the ultimate in classic, understated elegance. Featuring a plunging open back, spaghetti straps, and a gently curved low neck reminiscent of the necklines of the 17th century bodices of Shakespeare’s era. This deceptively simple gown features subtle asymmetrical seams, and a dramatic train, which has a hidden wrist loop and ribbon ties to hold or tie the train out of the way for dancing. Striking enough to wear on its own, or perfect to pair with our Portia Blouse or Robe. Available in either matt or satin finish. All Rolling In Roses pieces are available in any size.

Named after the intelligent, charming character of Viola who appears in Shakespeare’s romantic play Twelfth Night.

“O, then unfold the passion of my love,
Surprise her with discourse of my dear faith.”

Fabrics:

Outer: available in either vegan eco-friendly viscose crêpe-backed satin, (which has a global recycling certificate as the fibres are made from the by-products of the cotton industry, which would otherwise end up in landfill), or in 100% organic peace silk. This chemical-free British-produced silk has the lowest possible carbon footprint; even the Mulberry leaves, which are the silkworms’ only food, are grown right here in England. The organic production protects the soil and surrounding eco-system and the Peace Silk certification means the silk worms are unharmed and able to live out their natural life cycle.

Lining: organic bamboo charmeuse organically and ethically produced using a closed-loop system; all solvents and water used are then cleaned and re-used. An Oeko-Tex certified, natural fibre, biodegradable and breathable.

Sewn with super-sustainable OEKO TEX® certified Tencel thread.
