Cynthia – Eggshell Leaping Deer Dress

New this season, our Cynthia has a slider belt. These combine timeless simplicity with a perfectly polished fit.

About the Print: The Leaping Deer print, designed by Ingeborg, beautifully captures the essence of the autumn countryside. Hand-painted deer roam and leap gracefully across the landscape, foraging among the fallen leaves.

With its delicate brushstrokes and rich, earthy tones, this print exudes a timeless, vintage feel, evoking the nostalgic charm of peaceful woodland scenes.

This print was designed by Ingebjørg Hunskaar and inspired by the swimming ponds on Hampstead Heath in London. You can find more of her work on instagram – @ingebjorghunkskaar

About the Style: Cynthia is our best-selling dress, loved for years for her timeless fit and versatility.

Her mandarin collar can be worn up for a structured look or turned down like a classic shirt collar, making her adaptable to different styles and body shapes. With deep pockets and a buckled waist, she creates an accessible vintage silhouette that flatters every figure. Cynthia is a true Palava staple—practical and flattering.
