Emmeline Dress
"You know, it's actually a house dress from the early 1940s. See the monogram? NV. Or is it MV? What do you think her name was? I just love that her house dress was so beautiful with all these touches, a choice she made just for herself, you know? She wasn't going to go out in public in this. These little details were just for her."
Details: Inspired by a most beloved vintage 1940s dress, the Emmeline Dress is rendered in our vintage 1930s reproduction "Forget Me Not" floral print in a lightweight cotton. The neckline is adorned with meticulously placed darts, pointed panel at the waist, and godets at the side hems of the skirt lend to Emmeline's decidedly vintage silhouette. French lace accent the long puffed sleeves at the cuffs and along the hem. Self ties and a hidden side zipper ensure a perfect feminine fit. Every stitch and delicate details of the Emmeline is our loving ode to a bygone era.
