Dagmar - lovely dress for girls

Design: Trine Frank Påskesen

”Dagmar” is part of
Filcolanas ”Colours of
the Scandinavian Sum-
mer” collection. For this
collection our team of
designers have found in-
spiration in the incredible Scandinavian light and
colours in the works of the Skagen Painters.
The Danish painter Marie Krøyer, lived in a time
of lace, light dresses and feminine silhouettes
and this has been the inspiration for Trine På-
skesen’s ”Dagmar” dress: The tight bodice, the
gathered skirt and the many fine, little details
like the slit at the shoulder and the lace panel
down the back, which gives the dress a very
feminine look.
