The kind of dress Elizabeth Bennet would reach for if she lived in your century. Soft, sage green cotton falls from a fitted bodice with princess seams and delicate floral embroidery across the front yoke, finished with tiny mother of pearl buttons and short puff sleeves that feel just romantic enough without trying too hard. The full skirt has real movement and a lovely length for layering over a lace slip, and a button-tie back waist lets you adjust the fit to your liking. Side seam pockets, naturally. Slip it on and take a long walk through the countryside, or at least through your neighborhood. You'll feel like the heroine of your own story either way.
