Clarity 100% Cotton Dress - Anna Smith

Details: Smocked bodice · Balloon sleeves with tapered flare · knee length · Cotton voile lining · 2 deep pockets · 100% cotton · Hand-block printed Anna Smith Strong was a mother of ten who joined George Washington's Culper Spy Ring after the British seized her Long Island home and sent her husband to the prison ship "Jersey" for "surreptitious correspondence with the enemy", aka spying . Forced into a small cottage with her children on her own land, she made her laundry into a code to signal Washington. A black petticoat on the line meant the courier had arrived from across the Sound; the handkerchiefs beside it marked which cove his boat was hidden in, so her fellow spies could slip a message to Washington under cover of night. She hung her laundry in plain sight of British officers living in her home, and they never caught her. Hand-block printed in fresh blush cotton with sage embellishments, the Anna Smith is the kind of dress that feels like a deep breath. The smocked bodice stretches gently to hold you and support you through whatever the day asks, while the balloon sleeves billow and taper into a delicate flare at the elbow. Unhurried, feminine, a little romantic. The skirt falls in a clean A-line to the knee, full enough to move in, graceful enough to stand still in. Two deep pockets. A soft cotton voile lining for comfort and modesty. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Available in matching Mommy & Me sizes for little girls ages 2–6.
