Devil Downhead Dress - Acanthus

The Devil Downhead silhouette has become one of our most beloved at Birds, both for its comfort as well as for its easy, chic style. This dress has a tiered, relaxed fit, with front patch pockets and an ultra full elbow-length sleeve that gathers at the cuff. It pops on over the head, and closes with a button and loop at the back neck. 

This print features a beautiful tapestry of dusty pink and sea green acanthus scrolls, accented with carnations, red daisies and lilies, all on a rich navy blue background. Devil Downhead is also available this season in Intergalactic and Profusion!

Devil Downhead is made of 100% cotton, and can be hand or machine washed on a cold, delicate cycle and hung to dry. This dress has a very relaxed silhouette, so if you would like a fit similar to what you see on the models, you can follow our size chart recommendations for your body measurements here.
