I'm so incredibly excited to share one of the most special dresses in our Autumn collection, The Sewing Kit Dress! This dress is made of pretty plum colored cotton which was screen printed (right here in Springfield) with a print I designed. It has a really fun collar too. Here's my sweet friend, Holly, sharing three ways to wear this dress...
In Holly's first styling she wore a wrap skirt (c/o Simone's Rose) over the dress with a pair of chunky wedges and a handmade hair piece. I love that this look is casual, but still very put together.
In Holly's second look she wore purple tights and purple shoes with a pop of color in the belt. Who says three shades of purple in one outfit can't work? I love it.
Note: In case you didn't know, Holly is 16 weeks pregnant in this photo. This dress isn't the least bit snug on her. This style is super easy to fit! This dress will absolutely fit her for the next few months of her pregnancy as well as post-pregnancy. Nice!
In Look 3, Holly wore a cute blazer, vintage scarf and glasses. I love the belt under the blazer. She told me that of all the outfits this would be the one she'd be most comfortable wearing to work as a salon owner.
Thank you Holly, for being an amazing model! I am so proud of this dress. Thanks for taking a peek! XO, elsie

So so pretty. The collar is what does it for me---so crisp and gorgeous.
And Elsie? The fabric is heaven.
Thank you for making such loveliness in the world.

I love it with the purple tights! But then I am quite tight obsessed at the moment- I even convinced my mom to buy a purple pair to wear with boots :)

She looks adorable. I totally didn't realize she was pregnant, congrats!
