WEAR LEMONADE #14 THE LÉNA DRESS

Happy Monday company!

It's Monday, everything's going well, I've moved in without a hitch, the new site is being fine-tuned and Léna, the new Wear Lemonade dress, is here. I think I can say it without fail: the planets are aligned, and thanks to this great piece of printed silk we're all going to have a wonderful week.

As I wrote on Saturday, this shirtdress is a great basic, an all-terrain piece: during the day, with a pair of derbies and little socks, you'll be given every job on earth, and after 7pm, with a pair of pumps and a good lipstick, you'll be bombastic - yes, bombastic, my friends. I wanted it to be ambivalent, a bit like all women in the end, its shirt collar and tomboy low waist, mixed with its little chest pockets and box pleats in this 100% silk fabric, are an ode to delicacy and femininity! And what's more, the box pleats conceal pockets on the sides that give it its distinctive look - you guessed it, I'm a fan! But I could also tell you about its lightness and the cool way it twirls for hours!

To recap, Léna is available in the blue of your over-dyed eyeswhich gives it a "washed silk" effect, adding depth to the fabric. It has small covered buttons, 4 essential pockets and a small, scooped collar that will give you a slender neck, I promise. And it's available in a silk screen-printed "beau regard"In the making-of video, I show you how I created the pattern using paper, a piece of tape and a pen (Mac Gyver comes out of his shell). This print is exclusive, just like our scarves you've been raiding! In practice, these dresses can be worn all year round, either closed all the way to the top with a little ribbon as a lavaliere, a good pair of tights and a soft cardigan, or with strappy sandals, open over your made-in-terrasses tan and your puncture-proof denim jacket.

And it's easy to care for 100% silk, but apart from the ultra-recommended "hand wash, don't wring out, dry on a hanger", you can occasionally machine wash it... And yes! But how? Quite simply, the next time you wash your tights and lingerie, take the opportunity to put them inside out, in a lingerie net, and above all, don't spin-dry! That's what can pull and break the silk's fragile threads. Choose a cold wash (or delicate laundry) and don't forget to wear the blue Lena dress.of your eyes"with dark clothes, the "beautiful look"with white/light colors. Put it on a hanger to dry, and to iron it, just use the steam of the iron, without putting the soleplate on the garment. The dress will relax like magic!  

And today also marks the launch of Belinda's lucky panties! Because as well as having blue eyes, Belinda is the little cotton panties that are good for you, that will make your bottom look bouncy thanks to their trompe l'oeil elastic, and I'm sure you already have a pair of fetish panties that could use a replacement! "Entrepreneur"It's the panties you'll need to take the plunge, or it's a great gift for all those girlfriends who want to start their own business! "Good luck"Perfect for negotiating with a client or for a first date...".High Five"to give yourself courage and make sure it's in the bag! Belinda panties have that "je ne sais quoi" that will make you feel like you can conquer the world!

We worked with the Lycée Professionnel des Métiers de la Mode Octave Feuillet to embroider these panties. Tiffany was kind enough to welcome us to her embroidery class and show us her skills. We'd like to thank her, her attentive students and Mme Le Jallé. You can contact them via their website for more information on their courses, and their next open house is March 18 and 19!
