Rachel Carson Women's Dress/Skirt White Paper Squares with Crocodiles Teeth Hand Smocking
For Women full of Wonder. Named after the grandmother of modern environmentalism and author of ‘Silent Spring’ the book which opened the world’s eyes to nature’s cause, comes this hand smocked spring time sensation.
The dress is made from acres of textured cotton, gathered together with a deep garland of diamond and zigzag smocking stitches in lustrous pearly white threads that run all around the bodice, front and back. The sweeping silhouette is further enhanced by a frill tiered skirt and elegant frill straps adding a feminine swing to your spring summer escapades. And because nature's cause is as practical as it is beautiful, the dress features pockets, an elasticated bodice and fully adjustable straps for a perfect fit across different body shapes.
But there is more to this particular spring miracle: you can unbutton the flutter straps to transform the dress into a high waisted summer skirt - a neat trick sure to make this leading lady the hardest working style in your summer wardrobe.
- 2 in 1: dress transforms to skirt
- Hand smocked
- Limited edition
- 100% cotton
- Machine wash at 30 degrees, slow spin

- Straps can be completely removed.
Due the way our hand smocked pieces are pleated and sewn, our clothes offer a very versatile fit - there is natural stretch in all hand pleated smocks. For this reason we offer fewer, bridge sizes. This means more room for growth and less waste.
Below you will find measurements for our Girls' and Women's Sizes. Please note that as our pieces are made by hand, there will be natural variation between pieces so the measurements below are approximate. If you have any questions, do come and talk to us hello@smocklondon.com.
All measurements in centimetres.
Kids Sizing
Kid's Fit
In general our girl's fit is “Classic British” meaning dresses are designed to hit just below the knee and blouses sit at the lower waist level. At the beginning of the age range dresses will reach to mid calf; at the upper end of the range they will hit above the knee.
Most of our styles will comfortably fit your child beyond the age range specified: elasticated sleeves, tie straps and sashes allow you get as much as possible from each outfit. Better for you and better for the planet.
