* Sizes are UK sizes and expressed in CM. As a lot of my pieces are floaty in style and generous in sizing these size guides are just approximate average measurements as sizing can change depending on the style of the garment. Each garment depending on style may have different fits to the measurements above. You can add custom measurements above if you'd like more of a bespoke fit. FOR MY MADE TO ORDER PIECES I USE SIZES UK8-UK26 AS A GUIDE. I STOCK INDIVIDUAL SIZING FOR THESE PIECES AND I AM ABLE TO OFFER EXTENDED SIZING IF MY CURRENT SIZING DOESN'T CATER FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE IN-BETWEEN SIZES AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BESPOKE SIZE MADE UP PLEASE CONTACT ME BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Pre-Raphaelites with my captivating Wing of a Dragon Blouse, a wearable masterpiece that channels the romanticism and allure of this iconic art movement. This shirt is a stunning blend of imaginative design elements and the artistic beauty of Pre-Raphaelite landscapes, featuring a collar shaped like a dragon wing, lustrous pearl buttons, and voluminous billowing sleeves that elegantly concertina metres of fabric into neat cuffs.
The collar, reminiscent of a majestic dragon wing, adds a touch of mythical charm to the blouse. Adorned with lustrous pearl buttons, each one a jewel against the fabric, these buttons are not merely functional but serve as exquisite embellishments, adding a touch of magic to the garment.
The billowing sleeves are a focal point of the design, with their voluminous silhouette evoking the drama and romance of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics. As they cascade down, they create a sense of movement and fluidity, reminiscent of dragon wings.
The print on the blouse features hand-drawn motifs inspired by the enchanting medieval landscapes and dreamy imagery found in Pre-Raphaelite art. Swirling, smokey clouds drift across the fabric, while a castle frozen in time stands as a testament to the passage of history. An ever-observant dragon eye watches over the scene, its presence adding an air of mystery and intrigue.
This piece is handcrafted locally in Cheshire by an exceptionally skilled seamstress. It is made from 100% Cotton. It features pearl buttons down the front and on the cuffs.

OA Care Guide
OA Care Guide
As printed onto the care labels stitched into OA garments, I strongly recommend to dry clean your beautiful new additions. As these pieces are all handmade with love by an independent seamstress, in an ethical and sustainable way they are not processed with harmful chemicals and washed, and then rewashed like fast fashion brands.
If your piece has an alternative fabric - like a bright white collar on a purple dress then I would definitely advise to dry clean or spot clean to avoid colours bleeding into the collar. If a garment absolutely has to be washed then add 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle or one-half cup salt to the wash to help hold in colors. Use color-catcher sheets, which trap extraneous dyes during the wash cycle to prevent bleeding. Digital printed garments' colour does not usually run, however, the lining of the garment may run. Please do not scrub your pieces as this can cause damage to the surface.
When possible it is always kinder to steam garments rather than ironing them. Steaming removes creases by relaxing the fibres of the fabric. Ironing, on the other hand, uses the heat of the metal base and weight to compress the fibres. The compression of fibres over time can cause irreversible damage and shorten the life of the garment.
Care Advice for Corduroy and Needlecord Fabrics
I recommend to spot clean Corduroy when and as needed, I strongly recommend you to dry clean OA garments, but if a full wash is required here is some care advice;
If possible, a gentle hand wash would be best on a very low temperature. Do not scrub the fabric as this will destroy the pile. On high heat corduroy tends to shrink and the dye can run. I would advise where possible to only dry clean.
To revive the ‘pile’ (the textured fluffiness of the corduroy) I would recommend steaming the corduroy. This maintains the fluffiness of the corduroy. DO NOT iron corduroy on either side of the fabric – this flattens the texture and can damage it. The needlecord I have chosen works best with steaming and is the perfect weight to prevent too many creases.
