Sailing Boats is a recurring Palava theme, and this print takes inspiration from sailing boats bobbing on a lake or river mouth on a sunny summer's day!

About the Style: Our Rita dress is a shining star of a dress - the one you’ll dance the night away in, the one you’ll reach for again and again - the dress that memories are made in.

Her structured waist, full skirt and flattering wrap neckline make Rita the perfect showcase dress for an hourglass figure.

Rita’s clever tulip sleeves allow for full and unrestricted arm movement. Deep pockets sit invisibly in the side seams, making Rita not only beautiful but also practical.

Who Made Your Dress? Rita is made by Satnam and his team in our London factory. For more information on the fabrics we use at Palava, click
