As the sun sets on a Sunday afternoon, the tranquility of the forest invites you for a stroll among its comforting color. The delicate fabric of *Lila* floats in front of your wardrobe with each breath of fresh air, making you witness a gentle cadence of her flowing movements. The setting sun filters through the leaves of the trees, revealing another shade of its rich color: dark ocher, inviting you to indulge in a dreamy afternoon under the canopy of fluffy trees. She speaks her own language.
Her high ruffled french lace neckline mixed with a ruffled square puritan collar are what speak for her uniqueness. Your attention is drawn to her back, which is embellished with a delicate row of vintage gold buttons. Her puffed sleeves, meticulously seamed with a 1970 french lace, also makes you daydream of a fancy picnic by the river.
Your mirror murmurs rhymes of beauty to you -- as though you're made out of magic. Pure, authentic magic.
You are now ready to venture through the woods. With a gentle gesture, you push your your way through the little wooden barrier of your porch, bringing with you a basket of goodies. And then you go. Wearing your Lila dress. At this very moment, unbeknownst to you, you were about to embark on the dreamiest adventure of your life!

PROCESSING TIME
To honor our ideology of slow, sustainable fashion which revolves around lowering our impact on the environment and reducing over-producing, we embrace the method of made-to-order garments. So this beauty and all of our other garments will have a turnaround time of 4-5 weeks to be produced with an additional week for shipping and delivery.
We know that waiting for a piece of garment this long can be a bit frustrating, but as we embrace slow fashion, we believe that our little community can also celebrate it with us, by being more mindful and thoughtful about the pieces of clothing purchased at Echoes of Passe-Reine. While promoting continuous and steady manufacture, slow fashion aims at healthy production, which helps in choosing the highest quality resources, timeless designs that are gentle to the environment. Giving birth to organic and trendless pieces, creating staple wardrobes, filled to the brim with magic. And we believe that waiting a little longer for magic is always worth it. You, will confirm it.
We also use compostable, biodegradable packaging to do our part with reducing waste to aid in the prevention of pollution, and protect our environment, without compromising on shipping out your beautiful garments with the care and production they need and deserve.
