Maiden Mother Crone

Soften like the rain

Sale priceR 1,400.00
Let yourself soften 
like gently falling rain

Rain does not force the earth to open.

It falls softly, steadily — meeting what is there and allowing the hard places to loosen, the roots to drink and the living world to become supple again.

Soften Like the Rain was created in this spirit.

Fluid and feminine, she wraps gently around the body, adjusting naturally to the woman who wears her.
There is no fixed shape she must become — she simply gathers softly around the form that is already there.

A long-loved maiden mother crone classic, soften like the rain has returned through many seasons in earthy tones, soft pinks and quiet stone — each one carrying the same invitation.

Soften like the rain.
Let yourself be held.

Style  Soft, fluid and effortlessly feminine, Soften Like the Rain is a full-length wrap dress designed to move and change with the female form.

Her crossed neckline falls into an easy bodice with relaxed sleeves, while long ties wrap around the waist, allowing the fit to be adjusted to the body. The generous skirt falls freely from the waist, creating beautiful movement without constriction.

The wrap construction makes this dress wonderfully adaptable —  as bodies soften, expand and change, the ties can simply be loosened or drawn closer, allowing the same garment to accompany many expressions of the female form.

Simple enough for everyday wear and quietly elegant enough for something more special, this is a dress to reach for again and again.

Soften Like the Rain has been part of maiden mother crone for many seasons and perhaps this is why.

She does not ask very much of the woman who wears her.

She wraps. She moves. She makes room.

and she has pockets...

Created again and again in the quiet colours of the natural world, she has become one of those enduring pieces that seems to belong wherever life happens — barefoot in the garden, through motherhood, around a table with those we love, or dressed beautifully for an occasion.

A garment to live in, soften into and return to.
