I've been a fan of Thief & Bandit's designs for awhile now and I finally have a few to call my own. All of the designs are hand printed using giant silkscreens at a home workshop and then each design is sewn by local seamstresses in Halifax, Canada. This twirl dress by them is my absolute favorite. I wore it awhile back on a sunlit day that still felt like summer and took these pictures, but I've worn it more recently with tights (same booties!) and a jacket. The black base makes it feel very all appropriate, although the bright print makes me feel it'll work well in spring and summer as well. Although I have several designs now I've still got my eye on their Thistle skirt and Birds of Prey dress--such fun, wonderful designs!
