The Rebecca Blouse - Green Gingham
The Rebecca Blouse was born from a conversation with my Grandma Becky, who is pictured wearing it in this collection. She told me, βI love the dressesβ¦ but sometimes I just want a pretty blouse.β
And she was right. π€
So we created the Rebecca: a timeless, feminine blouse.Β
The softly gathered neckline on 100% organic cotton has a delicate ruffle detail and can be worn up over the shoulders for a more modest look or pulled down and worn off the shoulder.
Intentionally roomy through the waist and has a longer length, making it just as pretty worn loose over jeans or shorts as it is tucked into your favorite bottoms.
The sleeves have a beautiful full shape with a more fitted band just above the elbow, giving it that feminine silhouette without making the body of the blouse feel restrictive.
Fit: The Rebecca has a relaxed, generous fit through the body. We recommend ordering your true size for an easy, slightly oversized fit, or sizing down one if you prefer it a little less roomy.Β
Corin, Camielle, and Olivia are pictured wearing XS.
Momma Chrissy and Grandma Becky are pictured wearing L; their typical size is LβXL.
Made for the woman who loves a beautiful dress, but sometimes just wants a really pretty blouse. π€
GREEN GINGHAM:
Perfectly Imperfect Fabric
There is something familiar about ginghamβand something entirely different about ours.
Our Green Gingham begins with soft, 100% organic cotton and is created using the traditional art of hand block printing. Rather than a perfectly repeated pattern rapidly printed by machine, artisans work across the fabric by hand with small carved blocks, stamping the gingham pattern again and again. One section at a time. One impression at a time.
Itβs slow. Itβs painstaking. And in a world built around making things faster, cheaper and perfectly identical, thatβs exactly why we chose it.
Look closely and youβll see the evidence of the hands that made it. A block may have landed a little lighter than the one beside it. A line may not meet perfectly. You may notice a tiny smudge, a blank space, a deeper impression of color or a check that isnβt quite like the next.
Those arenβt defects. Theyβre the fingerprints of something made by hand.
We donβt want our gingham to look like it rolled endlessly from a machine. We chose this process because we wanted something with characterβsomething that carries little reminders that a real person had a hand in making the fabric youβre wearing.
If youβre looking for perfectly uniform, machine-made repetition, hand block printing may not be for you. But if you believe, as we do, that a little imperfection can make something even more beautiful, we think youβll understand exactly why this fabric became such a special part of our first collection.
The block-printed fabrics are created in limited runs, and once this particular fabric is gone, we canβt promise whenβor whetherβweβll be able to offer the exact same Green Gingham again.
This blouse is fully lined in white organic cotton voile.Β
