Everyday magnificence.
Virgie Wayne is a label named for my grandmother. Botanicals at peak bloom, made for the woman who dresses for the day she’s having.
Read the storyOne length of silk, tied your way.
Where the kaftan is long-sleeved and floor-length, the Wrap is light and bare-shouldered: a single printed length of silk you tie yourself, as a dress, skirt or top. Shown here as a halter dress.
The story behind the print.
Every print starts as original artwork by Cassandra Kelley, drawn from 17th and 18th century European motifs and reimagined for today.
Each one runs in small numbers. Once a print sells through, it doesn’t come back the same way. Choose a print to see it up close.

Named for my grandmother, Virgie Wayne.
In 2020, my mother gave me my grandmother Virgie Wayne’s dress, which she had kept for over 30 years. My grandmother wasn’t one to draw attention to herself. But the day she found that dress, she loved it so much she went straight to a photographer to have her picture taken. Decades later, the photographer still remembered how radiant she was.
That dress gave a quiet woman permission to be seen. I design every piece hoping it does the same for you, on an ordinary day as much as a special one.
