Prinia Dress – Summer Sleep

Prinia is a dreamy cotton dress with a sweetheart neckline and a dainty fabric tie at the front.  It has a gathered skirt with a yoked waist that drops to a point at front and back, and there are pockets at the sides. It closes with a back invisible zipper.

This cotton print has a beautiful, soft pastel palette with fireflies resting among summer blooms of rose and wisteria. Prinia is also available in Straw Flower and Morning Pastoral! 

Prinia has Birds’ classic fit and flare silhouette, and is made of 100% cotton. It is also fully lined in 100% cotton voile. This dress can be hand or machine washed on a cold, delicate cycle and hung to dry. 

This style fits true to our size chart, which you can see here. Hayley is 5’7″ and wears our size 6.
