Market of Stars Flight of Fancy Boheme Long Maxi Slip Dress

The Market of Stars maxi slip dress in Flight of Fancy is a wearable garden, painted in deep, moody color. A ruby-throated hummingbird hovers across the bodice, a golden swallowtail butterfly rests between the shoulder blades, and below the gathered waist an overflowing bouquet of peonies, roses, poppies, and ripe peaches blooms all the way to a patterned border at the hem. The print is built from a collage of floral paintings from the 1700s, so it carries the richness of an old Dutch still life while feeling completely at home in a boho wardrobe.

A Market of Stars Maxi Slip Dress Inspired by Hummingbird Lore

Hummingbirds are some of the most remarkable creatures in nature. Lighter than a nickel, they are the only birds able to fly both forward and backward, beating their wings 50 times a second or more. Relative to their size, they also have the largest hearts in the animal kingdom. Across many traditions they stand for hope, healing, and good fortune, and some say a hummingbird sighting is a message of love from someone near or someone who has passed. Even their group names are lovely: a gathering of hummingbirds can be called a glitter, a shimmer, or a bouquet, which is exactly what this print delivers.

Fit, Fabric, and Silhouette

This long slip dress is cut in 100% viscose, a soft, fluid fabric made from plant fibers such as wood and bamboo. Thin adjustable spaghetti straps and a straight neckline are trimmed in a coordinating patterned binding that ties back to the hem border. The fitted bodice flows into a gathered, full skirt that swings beautifully when you walk and falls to a true maxi length.

Sizing (measured flat):
S/M: 136 cm length (about 53.5 in), 52 cm underarm to underarm (about 20.5 in)
L/XL: 142 cm length (about 56 in), 57 cm underarm to underarm (about 22.5 in)

Care: Machine wash gentle or hand wash. Hang to dry.

How to Style the Flight of Fancy Slip Dress

Wear it on its own with gold jewelry and a stack of bangles for a summer garden party or rehearsal dinner. For cooler months, layer a long kimono or a fitted cardigan over the top and add tights and a cropped jacket. It works as a wedding guest dress, a vacation dress that packs light, a Mother’s Day gift, or a holiday party look with deep berry lipstick and statement earrings. The dark ground keeps it from reading as purely springtime, so it moves easily from spring florals into fall and winter celebrations.
