In elementary school, Kite Day was my favorite day of the year! Every kid brought a kite to school and we all flew them in the field together. It was pure magic.
The Kite Day Dress is inspired by the happiest moments in Spring! Mallory and I designed the kite print and it was screen printed on the cotton dresses. The cute ascot tie is so much fun to wear. This dress has a generous fit that will flatter many different figures too!
I'll be back soon with 3 Ways To Wear It. XO, elsie
That's awesome, I absolutely love her hair and that ring too!

Gorgeous! Oh... I might like this as much as the Lemon Pie dress. I second Julie's querty--how many dresses, in what sizes?

i also have fond memories of kites as a kid. wow, that kite design is amazing. you need to find a way to clone mallory so you can have double the stock. your dresses will sell out in mere hours!

Elsie, you designed the fabric?? you're an inspiration. I love your creativity, and the way it manifests itself in little but glorious details. It looks effortless, but I know a lot of time and thought goes into all you do. Thanks for sharing bits of your world with us. :]

OH how lovely!!! I've been falling more in love with each dress you post!
This dress is currently reminding me of how i flew my sister's boyfriend's expensive kite right into a tree last summer! I felt so bad :/
