"There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven."

Harriet takes her name from Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery and then returned again and again to lead scores of others to freedom along the Underground Railroad — traveling by night through the woods and swamps, following the North Star, and never once losing a passenger. When the Civil War came she served the Union as a scout, a spy, and a nurse, even guiding an armed raid that freed hundreds. There may be no braver American who ever lived, and the words above are how she described the morning she first crossed into freedom.

Sunlit chartreuse scattered with dusty-pink blooms and soft grey leaves — the gold-green of a field at first light, exactly the glory she spoke of. The bodice is smocked across into a soft square neckline, the full-length balloon sleeves billow to a little ruffle at the wrist, and the skirt gathers full and free all the way to the ankle. Fully lined through the bodice, sleeves, and skirt, so the light cotton hangs beautifully and wears with ease.

Available in matching Mommy & Me sizes for little girls ages 2–6. Each complete with pockets.

Anna Marie is the same fabric as her sister dress Anna Smith. Where Anna Marie is a long sleeve and ankle length dress, Anna Smith is a short sleeve and knee length dress.

Fabric: Every Anna Marie is hand-block printed in Jaipur using a craft 500 years older than fast fashion — wooden blocks carved by hand, dipped in natural dye, and pressed into the fabric one stamp at a time. Designed on our homestead in rural Ohio, made in Jaipur by families who have practiced this tradition for generations. Because each dress is made entirely by hand, no two are identical — slight variations in color and pattern are not flaws, they are fingerprints. The mark of something real. No chlorinated bleaches, azo dyes, chemical washes, sprays, or preservatives are used to make or applied to our Clarity dresses. We are toxin free by design.

Care: Wash inside out with other 100% cotton fabrics on a delicate cold cycle. Hang dry. Never bleach.
