Colour with structure, without a fitted silhouette
The Loobie's Story Dambulla Midi Dress uses print and panel placement to give an easy A-line shape considerably more definition. The vivid Azure Multi ground carries smaller decorative motifs through the body, while contrasting printed sections draw attention to the neckline, shoulders, sleeves and centre front.
The V neckline opens the upper body, framed by a contrast placket and forward shoulder panels. Rather than running the same print uninterrupted across the dress, these contrasting sections give the upper body definition while making the different elements of the Dambulla print more noticeable.
From there, the dress falls into an A-line midi skirt. Gathering through the skirt introduces movement and room through the lower body without requiring a closely defined waist.
The placement print is particularly important to this design. Decorative motifs are positioned across the Azure ground, with contrasting border detail used through the centre front and sleeves rather than simply repeating one pattern over the entire garment.
The slightly flared sleeves provide coverage while remaining open through the cuff. The border print across the lower sleeve also gives them definition without needing additional trims or embellishment.
The dress is fully lined in 100% rayon, while the outer is made from an 82% rayon and 18% nylon blend.
Azure Multi is a clear, saturated blue punctuated with soft aqua, cream, olive and muted neutral motifs. There is already plenty happening in the print, so this is one of those dresses that benefits from keeping everything else straightforward — simple sandals or heels and minimal jewellery are enough.
A useful dress when you want colour and presence without anything close-fitting — the shape remains easy while the print placement provides the detail.
Why it works
- A-line silhouette gives room through the lower body
- V neckline keeps the upper body open
- Contrast placket and forward shoulder panels define the bodice
- Placement print creates interest through the skirt and sleeves
- Slightly flared sleeves provide coverage without a fitted cuff
- Midi length works with both flat sandals and heels
- Fully lined in 100% rayon
Fit & Shape
The Dambulla Midi Dress has an A-line silhouette with definition through the upper body before falling away through the skirt. The gathered skirt provides additional room and movement through the lower half.
The sleeves finish around three-quarter length on the model and flare slightly towards the cuff.

What if I have received faulty items?
If your item develops a fault within 1 month of purchase, please email pip@weekends.com.au with your order number, a description of the fault & photograph/s showing the fault. We will send you a pre-paid postage label so that you can ship the item back to us. After the item has been inspected, we will decide if it can be repaired, or will need to be replaced or refunded.

Faulty goods
If the fault is minor, we will repair the item and return it to you at no cost.

If we are unable to offer a like-for-like replacement and you do not wish to exchange the item, we will provide a refund.
If the fault is major, we offer a refund, exchange or store credit. This is when the item:
- has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about the fault
- is unsafe
- is significantly different from the sample or description
differences in pattern placement to images on our website are due to standard manufacturing processes and are not considered "significantly different" and are therefore not considered a fault - doesn’t do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed
We will not accept faults caused by wear and tear, incorrect fit, or improper washing and/or drying of a garment.
