{"product_id":"the-oleander-dress","title":"The Oleander Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome prints you wear. This one you get to live inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole tide pool, painted across cream — shells, scrollwork, the gold-and-teal hush of water at the shallow end — framed like a scarf you'd have kept for thirty years. It reads as art, not costume, because the cream ground gives every motif room to breathe, and matte linen keeps it earthy where a shiny cloth would tip it toward fancy dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body pours from rows of fine shirring at the shoulder, front and back, so the fullness falls from a clean yoke instead of bulking at the chest. Bishop sleeves gather to a smocked cuff — generous enough to feel intentional, neat enough at the wrist to stay out of your wine glass. And because it's linen, those long sleeves are pure coverage, never a layer you regret: they breathe in real heat and hold their own against fierce restaurant air-conditioning. A braided rope belt draws it to the true waist; the covered-button placket runs the length of the dress, so you set the neckline exactly where you want it, closed to the throat or open to a soft V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hem is a true mini — it sits mid-thigh on a 5'7\" frame and moves with you. The gathered skirt gives it the swing and the coverage a straight-cut mini never has. And linen only gets better from here: it softens with every wash, wearing in rather than out, until it feels like it's always been yours. Bare legs, a flat tan sandal, gold at the ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet yourself bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLinen · shirred yoke front and back, bishop sleeves with smocked cuffs, covered-button placket, braided rope tie-belt · fitted at the waist, full through the skirt · opaque cream ground; deep-V placket styles open (adhesive cups if worn low) · true mini — size up if between for skirt fullness, not length · model is 5'7\", wears a size M · in Tide Pool Cream · machine wash cold on gentle, hang to dry, warm iron while damp\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helena Bloom","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":54617572901077,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":54617563070677,"sku":"6271181570495","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54617563103445,"sku":"6271181570496","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":54617563136213,"sku":"6271181570497","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54617563168981,"sku":"6271181570498","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54617563201749,"sku":"6271181570499","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/3691\/5925\/files\/ChatGPTImageAug25_2026_03_20_01PM_2.png?v=1787643829","url":"https:\/\/helenabloom.com\/products\/the-oleander-dress","provider":"Helena Bloom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
