Andromeda Silk Dress in Jungle Altar

The Andromeda Silk Dress in Jungle Altar is a made-to-order silk slip dress designed by artist Courtney Barriger for Holding Court Inc. The Jungle Altar print draws from the visual language of Tulum — dense, layered, and rooted in a specific sense of place. Printed with eco-friendly water-based ink on featherlight silk, it wears with the ease and movement that only natural silk delivers at this weight.

At $437.50, this is investment-tier dressing with a clear reason: it’s produced to order (not warehoused in bulk), Oeko-tex certified for sustainable materials, and comes with Holding Court’s tree-planting commitment on every purchase. The slow fashion model means longer lead times but also a dress made specifically for you, not sitting in a warehouse waiting.

Why This Dress

• Artist-Designed Print: Created by Courtney Barriger — the Jungle Altar print is exclusive to Holding Court Inc. and not available elsewhere. Owning it means owning a wearable piece of original art
• Premium Silk Construction: Featherlight, naturally temperature-regulating, and beautiful in motion — silk has a drape and luminosity that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate
• Printed with Water-Based Ink: Eco-conscious production that reduces the chemical load of traditional garment printing without compromising color depth or longevity
• Oeko-tex Certified: Third-party verified for harmful substance limits — the fabric meets rigorous safety and sustainability standards
• Made to Order: Each dress is produced when you order it — a deliberate slow fashion choice that eliminates overproduction and ensures your specific size is made fresh, not pulled from overstock
• Tree Planted Per Purchase: Holding Court Inc. plants a tree for every order — a tangible, trackable environmental commitment beyond the production process itself
• Extended Size Range: XXS through 3XL — a wider range than most premium silk dresses at this price point

Fit & Sizing

The Andromeda is cut as a slip dress — a bias-friendly, body-skimming silhouette that follows natural curves without constriction. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and match to the chart below. If you’re between sizes, size up for a more relaxed drape or stay true to size for a closer fit.

Occasion & Styling

The Jungle Altar print — deep greens, organic forms, layered botanical detail — reads as elevated resort wear but works equally well as an occasion dress or an art-forward dinner look. The slip silhouette keeps it feminine and fluid; the length (maxi) makes it appropriate across a wide range of settings from beach dinners to gallery openings to destination weddings as a guest.

Style it with minimal gold jewelry to let the print lead. Flat leather sandals for a relaxed resort look; heeled mules or strappy heels for evening. A simple linen blazer draped over the shoulders extends wearability into cooler evenings without competing with the print.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold in gentle detergent, or dry clean for best results
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
• Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth, or steam from a distance
• Store hanging — silk creases easily when folded for extended periods
