Behind the Design

The story, the print and the little magic.

The Marley Story The Style Story
The Marley is the dress you'll reach for again and again. 🎉 A generous fit midi dress with a button-up V-neck, short sleeves and a loose, flared skirt, made for real life: the office, the weekend, the night out, the school run. The adjustable waist lets you cinch it in or leave it relaxed, and the button front means it's on in seconds. Side pockets are included, because pockets are non-negotiable here. 👗
Beautiful Bugs The Print Story
Beautiful Bugs is the latest collaboration with artist Teggun Ashleigh, and it's a lot more charming than a print about insects has any right to be. 🦋 The button-up V-neck and drawstring waist sit above a mid-calf, fully lined skirt with side pockets, the same feminine, vintage shape LPD keeps coming back to. It's a dress that makes bugs look like something you'd actually want to wear.
Style It Your Way: Marley Beautiful Bugs Style It Your Way
Take the Marley from casual to elevated with heeled sandals for a lunch date, or keep it easy with sneakers for the school run. The button-through design makes it genuinely Bump Friendly and Nursing Friendly. 🐞 Pockets are there when you need them.
