Birds of a Feather blanket dress, browns and ivory plaid.
Birds of a feather, the Swainson’s hawk dress.
Handmade one-at-a-time with a super cozy anti-pill fleece in shades of brown and ivory plaid. The stretchy fleece makes it comfortable, incredibly durable, and insulative (both against the cold and wet), and extremely easy to take care of. I love this new design so much—an ankle length prairie dress with a double breasted bodice that can be worn a number of ways depending on your mood.
And yes, POCKETS! Two super huge drop-pockets are built into the front seams--large enough to carry a number of treasures and double-seamed for durability.
Made-to-order, this plaid Blanket Dress is constructed with a full length skirt that has a beautiful drape--easy to walk and move in, and so warm. Two side slits are sewn into the bottom hem of the dress for extra freedom, both finished with a decorative epaulette at the top.
Matching epaulettes adorn the shoulder seams and lend an interesting detail to complement a double breasted bodice. Both layers of the bodice can be fully snapped/unsnapped, providing a number of interesting ways to wear this dress.
Snapped fully, for an elegant asymmetrical collar...or worn open for a layered silhouette.
Its full length sleeves have contrasting elbow patches, and folded cuffs. Cuffs have brass snap closures and are also constructed so that you can comfortably roll them up and still look polished with covered inside seams.
A detachable belt is included that features a decorative flounce at the buckle. It adjusts to a range of waist sizes with adjustable hardware, and the dress' belt loops should accommodate a range of other belts from your own personal collection.
All seams are serged and sewn for a long life of wear and enjoyment. Bottom hems are fully serged and top stitched, and great care has been taken to ensure the durability of this design. Meant to be worn any day, anywhere, doing virtually most things...just as long as it's cold enough. That's the only reason you need!
Wash cold/gentle cycle with mild detergent :: air dry, or dryer on low heat.
This fleece is 100% vegan imitation wool, constructed from polyester with a soft and fuzzy texture that will not degrade over time—rather only get better!
