My favorite quote from Louisa May Alcott is, "I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship." So I have named this dress after her. Her very first book was Flower Fables, a collection of woodland tales she wrote at twenty-two for Ralph Waldo Emerson's young daughter, full of blossoms and fairies and the New England woods she grew up roaming. She turned hardship into courage again and again, supporting her whole family with her pen, nursing soldiers through the Civil War, and lending her voice to abolition and a woman's right to vote. She was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts, and she wrote Little Women, the story of four sisters that has never once gone out of print.
Dusty rose threaded with soft pink blooms and grey-green vines: our Louisa print, made for fall. I designed this cut with a smocked bodice that gathers into a soft square neckline, long balloon sleeves that billow and gather into a ruffle at the wrist, and a skirt that lands just at the knee. She's fully lined from the sleeves to the bodice to the skirt, with two deep pockets. Pair her with tall boots and a warm cup of something on the porch.
Available in matching Mommy & Me sizes for little girls ages 2–8. Each complete with pockets.
Fabric: Every Louisa 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 piece 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 pieces. We are toxin free by design.
Care: Wash inside out with other 100% cotton fabrics on a delicate cold cycle. Hang dry. Never bleach.
