Elizabeth Blackwell Dress Royal Tartan with Sleigh Bell Hand Smocking
Move over sugar plum fairy there’s a new Christmas sensation in town! For girls who break boundaries comes this wonderfully traditional festive frock made from silk-like cotton tartan based on the red and white motif of the Stewart clan. With its glorious blaze of zigzag hand smocking in sleigh-bell-inspired threads of scarlet and gold and frilly collar and cuffs edged with an exquisite lace trim, this a Christmas Dress she will want to treasure forever. Elizabeth Blackwell became the very first woman to qualify as a Doctor in 1849, a trailblazing young woman who broke into the male-led medical world and changed the way people saw women forever. Her namesake dress also takes its own approach with fabric covered buttons down the front, a blaze of vibrant smocking and richly smocked cuffs, just add a defiant spirit, a sprinkling of stubbornness and large dose of determination.... Remind you of anyone?

Our girl's fit is “Classic British” meaning dresses are designed to hit just below the knee. At the beginning of the age range dresses will reach to mid calf; at the upper end of the range they will hit above the knee.
Due the way our hand smocked pieces are pleated and sewn, our clothes offer a very versatile fit - there is natural stretch in all hand pleated smocks. For this reason we offer fewer, bridge sizes. This means more room for growth and less waste.
All of our pieces are designed to be passed down generations when handled with care.
