"Dumbo" Convertible Upcycled Mini Dress & Skirt – One of a Kind
A playful and versatile statement piece that bridges the gap between nostalgia and avant-garde functionality. This one-of-a-kind garment is expertly handcrafted from reclaimed vintage cotton textiles, featuring a whimsical all-over print of Dumbo.
Designed with a focus on adaptability, this piece features a flexible, elasticated waistband and an exposed lilac side zipper that allows it to transition effortlessly between two distinct styles:
• As a Mini Dress: A charming, strapless tube-style mini dress with a bow detail at the bust.
• As a Mini Skirt: A voluminous, high-waisted skirt with an adjustable tie-waist.
The design includes unique structural overlays and side ties that add a deconstructed dimension to the classic sweet print.
Handmade in Leipzig.
