Elisamama and Charmsie Collab - Bougainvillea Dress

The first piece in our collaboration with Charmsie is the Bougainvillea Dress. Here's what Charmsie had to say about the Bougainvillea dress. 

"This was the first dress we locked down. The marching orders for this design were fun, flirty, girly and comfortable. I believe we hit all key points. The journey to the fabric selection was a funny one - I spotted it in one of Elisamama’s BTS videos and got curious. I took a screenshot and sent it to Fisayo, who then had her team go to the market to find the fabric! It was love at first sight.

The name is a nod to my Caribbean roots with its reminiscence to the vibrant, pink cascading, Bougainvillea flower. Something that I absolutely love about this dress ( that truthfully came as a bit of a surprise during my styling process ) is that it can be worn backwards and it still looks amazing! That’s right, if you prefer more coverage in the front, simply turn it around, for a beautifully smocked bust with a gorgeous open neckline, and a slight keyhole at the back! Dress the Bougainvillea dress up with some heels, pulling from the tones in the dress, or keep it casual with some clogs or tennis shoes! It’s going to be chic no matter what ;)"
