accreditation

Wearing your nightie or nightgown outside your flat or house is no longer just a dream.

Satin slip dresses, oversized satin blouses and billowy white and beige dresses worn with sneakers, leather jackets and elements with a bit of edge, work beautifully together, creating a perfectly balanced outfit.
