Emmeline Pankhurst Women's Dress Autumn Floral with Conker Hand Smocking

March out into a bright future in our Pankhurst Dress. As bold as its suffragette namesake, the sensational smocked bodice sets the high impact tone for this stand out day dress. Yards of silk-like cotton lawn covered with autumnal blooms on a dark background are gathered into a pleated bodice, then embellished with a thousand exquisite hand stitched zigzags in rich brown threads threads . Gentle elastication on the pleated bodice front and back ensures a perfect fit,  enhanced by the gathered skirt with tiered frill finish and richly smocked frill cuffs. Perfect with a chunky winter boot or dainty winter flats, the dress is finished with a frill neckline with keyhole opening and pockets - as comfortable, practical and fabulous as any suffragette would wish. Emmeline would indeed be proud: pin on your rosette and stride out with pride.
