These dresses boast a vintage silhouette that pays homage to the emerging "cottage core" aesthetic that is popular on both social media and runways. The Ellie Nap Dress presents as a whimsical and feminine piece and is offered in romantic colorways like Rose Botanical, Gold Jacquard, White Semi-Sheer Swiss Dot, and Pastel Trellis, among others. Featuing equal parts Victorian romance and ’70s bohemian, the dress boasts an A-line design with ​elasticated smocking, ruffled shoulders and a tiered midi skirt. Made from ultra-soft fabric, the dress is comfortable enough to wear all day and night even in high humidity and hot weather.
