I'm sure you'll enjoy this gentle botanical print, with the calming butter yellow background and birds frolicking amongst the palm fronds. The lemon colour is stunning, and looks amazing with the browns, blues and greens of the palm leaves. The little birds are a joyful addition. This will look superb with white or tan accessories. Even though this is the same weight as the Lady McElroy 'Trudi Chambray' prints (Wild Botanics & Lorellie), is feels like it has a tiny bit more body (although it does have lovely drape). Enjoy!

Cloth Care:
Machine washable at 30 degrees, cool iron and hang out to dry straight after washing, please note when you wash viscose it can become stiffer when wet but the softness and drape will return as it dries.
To ensure the long life of a garment, don’t tumble dry as this breaks down the fibres. It is preferable to wash inside out. Wash colours separately. Dry in shade and inside out. Use a warm/hot iron and spot test.
