The Lyric Dress

Limited edition of 50 pieces worldwide.

Crafted from French silk cotton, the COMMON HOURS Lyric Dress features a custom hand-drawn placement print showcasing the lyrics to ‘Pictures of You’, most famously performed by The Cure, rendered in endless repetition.

This piece has an exaggerated fit and flare silhouette with a loosely fitted bodice. An extravagant hem circumference draws emphasis to the waist. An under-sleeve cut-out relaxes the inset oversized box sleeves. The dress features discreet internal binds and French seam finishes, which speak to the brand’s pursuit for impeccable craftsmanship inside and out, offered unlined for a semi-sheer appearance. Fasten with thread covered hooks and a hand-embroidered thread loop at the centre front, and define the silhouette with a generous matching waist tie.

Every panel of the dress features meticulous hand-written lyrics designed to wrap around the body perfectly. Discreet hand-embroidered passages in tonal thread elevate the piece to new heights, impressing the core values of Common Hours: art (through music, literature or imagery), exceptional compositions and time.
