Cottage Blouse, Calico Print

This is the original dress style from our successful Kickstarter launch years ago. 

This fabric: 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 similar 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.

Fans of this hat love their cap-shaped look.

Are you a fan of wool? Fabric made in Italy, thick and plush, these hats emerge from the scraps our Boiled Woolen Sweater that are too precious to waste. We only sew as many as the scraps make possible. They have chunky, thick, richly sculpted tactile details. 

Did we say "wool" enough? To avoid any misunderstanding, if you have ever had allergies/sensory issues with wearing wool, these hats aren't for you. Wool is both on the outside of the hat and against your head.

This hat is an average adult head size, with stretch to go over most heads without feeling too tight. We designed a looser fit for less hairdo smush, but will still cling and stay on.

This all purpose size seems to fit the bill on all but the smallest adult heads. If you know yours runs small, feel free to reach out, we can help!

Hand wash COLD and dry flat if needed. Do not put in the dryer. 
Made in the USA of imported Italian fabric.

"Songbird": Textured sleeve is an organic cotton swiss dot. Small repetitive shapes on body create its overall texture in gold, teal, gray, in Cotton/Spandex.

95% Cotton/5% Spandex knit body, Organic cotton woven sleeve.

About every signature tee:

National Picnic Signature Tees thrive on creative pairings of new fabrics each season, but it's the fit that is just as special. Not a generic tee shirt fit—they have been thoughtfully designed to consider women's figures, pleasing a diverse range of body shapes and sizes.

It's designed to drape loosely over the torso when worn true to size, and not get stuck on the hips. Not meant to fit snugly; however, some women order a size down to show more curves through the bust area. Even then, it will still remain somewhat loose-fitting. Woven sleeves can only size down so much (they don't stretch)—so if tight is how you roll, this is not the tee for you.

Thanks for loving National Picnic Signature Tees! Please read each listing for each tee's "personality". Fabric combinations vary in weight, drape or hand. The variations are intentional, adding interest and fun to the most popular style we make.

"Confetti":  Swiss dot fabric in a blue/red dot with a medium heathery blue knit body. Constrasting navy trim.

80/20 Cotton/Linen sleeve. 95% Cotton 5% Spandex shell.

About every signature tee:

You could say this tee has a "boyfriend fit", but don't think it's unisex, it's been designed for a woman's curves.

It's designed to drape loosely over the torso when worn true to size. It's not meant to fit snugly, but the rule of thumb is order down if you want some curves around the bust. If tight is how you roll, this is not the tee for you.

Since the brand's beginning in 2011, National Picnic Signature Tees have been reinvented with new fabrics each season. Starting in 2018, new tees in the series will be numbered so limited editions can be followed and catalogued as they come and go.

Fabrics used in signature tees can vary slightly in fiber content, weight, drape and feel, which can make a version appear to fit slightly larger or smaller—but know that each signature tee is cut from the same pattern. Differences are noted in each listing. Rarity and exceptional fabrics can affect pricing of special tees in the Signature series.
