The Poet Dress is a relaxed empire-waist maxi with a soft, smock-like silhouette and plenty of movement. Cut generously in lightweight cotton, it has a wide, shallow neckline, dropped shoulders, softly voluminous sleeves, and a full gathered skirt. A self-fabric drawstring runs through the empire channel, so the shape can be worn loose and floating or gently cinched in.
The sleeves have their own drawstring channels at the wrists, allowing them to fall long and easy or gather higher on the arm. Hidden side-seam pockets keep the silhouette clean, while a small keyhole and shell button finish the back neckline. Romantic without feeling precious, it’s a versatile shape meant to be adjusted, layered, and worn often.
Rosewater - Named for the softened pink ground, which reminded us of rose petals steeped in water. Deep berry-red and warm ivory flowers, curling vines, and small paisley motifs wander across the cloth in an intricate, slightly timeworn pattern. Feminine and timeless, it has the soft character of an antique block print.
