Bajo el Mar Shirt Dress

A garment that evokes the sea through colour and illustration.

The Bajo el Mar Shirt Dress has a relaxed, fluid silhouette with a full front button closure, classic shirt collar, and three-quarter sleeves that can be worn folded. Its midi length allows it to be styled either as a dress or as a lightweight over-shirt, moving with ease and lightness.

The print is an original TelaCuento illustration inspired by marine life: hand-drawn lobsters repeat across a soft blue-green background with subtle vertical stripes. Each illustration was painted by hand and then carefully digitised to preserve every detail and expressive line of the original artwork.

Made from soft, breathable rayon, this piece feels fresh and comfortable against the skin, ideal for warm or temperate climates. It pairs effortlessly with jeans, wide-leg trousers, or worn closed as a dress for a relaxed yet artistic look full of character.
