Theia Embroidered Dress
The Theia Dress by Once Was captures the essence of summer elegance, blending artisanal detail with a breezy, feminine silhouette.
Crafted from a luxurious linen-viscose blend, Theia is light, breathable, and beautifully draped. Showcasing the exclusive Petinos Floros print — a Mediterranean-inspired mix of saffron, cobalt blue, and ivory — this dress is a celebration of colour and artistry. The wrap-style bodice shapes the waist, while scalloped embroidery along the hem and sleeves adds intricate charm. With its soft blouson sleeves, front split, and graceful movement, Theia effortlessly transitions from garden parties to evening gatherings.
