Girl - Beatrice Silk Smocked Dress

The Beatrice comes in two colours, and the choice between them says something about the girl who wears it.

Both are made in silk shantung, a smooth, soft fabric with a quiet, matte elegance that feels closer to how silk behaves in nature. In dusty pink, the Beatrice has the gentle, classic prettiness of a dress from a storybook: the kind worn to a party, twirled in front of a mirror, and remembered for years. In sage green, it takes on something quieter and more grounded: the colour of leaves, of early morning walks, of a girl who would rather be outside than anywhere else. Same dress, same craftsmanship, two completely different worlds.

Across the chest, the smocking is manually worked using traditional artisanal techniques into fine, closely pleated rows. Along its lower edge, small rosebuds have been hand-embroidered in a honeycomb lattice in the same tones as the dress, so the roses sit quietly within the smocking rather than standing out from it.

We know that what makes the real difference is always in the details, which is why the embroidery doesn't stop there: the same roses and leaves are scattered across the cap sleeves and down the back tie, in the same soft tones, continuing all the way to the bow.

A cotton tulle crinoline underneath gives the gathered skirt its volume, and the cotton lining is trimmed with delicate white crochet at the hem.

Inside, in matching thread and finished with a small heart in the same tone, a message has been hand-embroidered just for her: "This hand embroidered dress is unique and special, just like you."

The hem has been cut generously so that when the time comes, it can be let down and worn a little longer — because she shouldn't have to let go too soon of a dress that truly feels like her.

The Beatrice is for the girl who already knows which version of herself she wants to be today. Either way, she will be right.
