3/4 Sleeve, with a bateau neckline that is simply a slotted opening from shoulder to shoulder. Elegantly drapes across the collarbone. Sophisticated and smart. Travel-friendly as a comfortable, packable basic. 4-way stretch!
Your dress may be sewn to order, allow about a week to make before it ships.
The fabric of the dress folds in at the neck to create a clean edge uncomplicated by added stitches. Smooth any fabric at the neckline inward if it goes astray while popping it over your head.
This dress's swing silhouette hides the midsection, with a healthy swish due to the weight of the fabric. Pockets with room to fill. The playful length suits bare legs, leggings, even jeans.
For this one, choose your size based on your shoulders. The neckline will appear strained/taut if you try on a size that is smaller than needed.
Made with sustainability-minded Ecovero™ Viscose. ECOVERO™ fibers have been certified with the EU Ecolabel as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal.
CLEANING NOTES Best care:Hand wash or machine wash delicate cycle, cold water. Smooth it out with hands, laying flat to dry. Wrinkling fallsout with movement as it's worn. If you prefer ironing, It's OK to pass a steaming iron gently over surface if needed, garment turned inside out. Other acceptable care: Dry cleaning is also an option. Processes to avoid: Do not put in the dryer, or use warm or hot water, it will shrink your garment (mostly in length but also a little in width).Do not use bleach.
92% Ecovero™ Viscose (a type of rayon) and 8% Spandex. Made in the USA of USA-made fabric.
Perfect fit, very soft and comfortable. I was a little worried that the neck would bother me but it is so soft that it is barely a whisper against my throat. Wish I could wear it every day.

This dress is absolutely wonderful to move around in, and the pockets are a delight! Highly recommend it, especially as pandemic living continues and we all could use beautiful, comfortable things to wear around the house and outside.

fun·da·men·tal • /ˌfəndəˈmen(t)əl/ adjective 1. forming a necessary base or core; of central importance.
Made to order, allow about a week to sew before shipping.
A dress boiled down to its simplest form, sure and simple. A fast solution for what to throw on when it's hot, easily coordinating under more clothing as air conditioning or weather might shift.
Raglan sleeves and trimmed armholes give it a sporty touch, the fact that it's a dress still keeps it, well, dressy!
Narrow silhouette, this isn't a tube dress, rather, it has some curves of a body. When worn true to size, it should drape with a little looseness from the bust down. Want a closer fit? Size down.
No pockets on this one, so those looking for a tighter fit can size down for a body-conscious fit with no pocket lumps.
The fabric itself is milled in the USA, a quality medium weight jersey knit. A Rayon/Spandex blend, it has a silky sheen that's a wee bit dressier. Will drape toward the body. Yarn-dyed heathered colors have a textured look and a soft hand.

Sold out—thanks for the love! Expect this style to return in fall 2022.
A nod to 90s era garage-band-worthy thermal knit, only better: organic waffle knit is being used this time around. Clean-lines and swingy, WITH POCKETS.
Sewn and pre-shrunk to order in any size, allow about a week before shipping.
Notes on color options: Dark Teal is all one solid color. Rust has heather gray trim for the neckline, cuffs, and pocket lining.
Sizing is flexible due to the swing shape. Hip is entirely hidden in the swish. Waffle will expand readily—a person can usually wear two sizes but must decide how they want it to fit. Examples: An XS can probably wear a small, but will be a little loose. A 1X can likewise wear an XL but it will appear more body-con. in arm and bust.
Thermal waffle has stretchy properties much like a cotton sweater that does not have Spandex. It will "grow" as you wear it and tighten up again with a wash and tumble dry.
100% GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton Best care: Machine wash warm or cold water, like colors, air dry. Also acceptable: Tumbling in dryer on low is also OK. This garment has been washed after sewing to pre-shrink it. However, avoid hotter settings, that may shrink it more. Made in the USA of imported fabric.
Great dress that can be paired with leggings for a cozy cool weather outfit. The draping looks great, feminine while being covered and loose on the bottom half. The material is nice and thick, washes well.

This is the original dress style from our successful Kickstarter launch years ago. It's in regular rotation in the shop—but offered in different limited fabrics each chilly weather season to keep things interesting. It's a customer favorite.
Your dress may be made to order. Allow appx. one week to sew yours before shipping.
This season's offering: We sourced Made in the USA 20 oz. cotton blend has some recycled poly to help keep shrinking to a minimum. Do you remember that favorite college sweatshirt you had back in the day? This is that same classic, thick, structured material, brushed on the inside. Snuggly warm, drapes away from the body.
Longer than average sleeves are designed to be rolled to show the soft, brushed side of the fabric. Dress isn't meant to be tight/snug. If more fitted is your thing, you might want to order a size down or choose a different dress entirely. Think "sweatshirt" for this one. You wouldn't expect a sweatshirt to cling.
80% Cotton 20% Recycled Poly Machine wash cold, and air dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid higher temps when washing and drying. Sewn in the USA of USA-Made Fabrics
A “feel good” experience from start to finish - perfect sizing, fabric as described (amazing!), artisan craftsmanship. Highly recommend! A special creation…simple, sustainable, created with care.

Gloriously smushy, thick, soft 100% cotton french terry, like a favorite large gauge- cotton sweater that relaxes more throughout the day. It does not have much structure—this fabric will be looking for your body to drape against, cling to, give it shape.
Turtleneck features the fringed selvedge of the fabric, and exposes the loopy underside when folded down. Likewise, the cuffs are finished longer so they can be rolled to expose the loopy underside also.
A brown heather outer surface. With unbleached natural on the loops inside.
Care is a bit different from most National Picnic items—machine wash cold or warm, Air dry flat or tumble dry low, in a machine dryer, preferably by itself. Hanging while wet may cause it to stretch/elongate under the weight of the damp fabric.
Perfect fit, very soft and comfortable. I was a little worried that the neck would bother me but it is so soft that it is barely a whisper against my throat. Wish I could wear it every day.
