A stunning Sophie dress from our friend Zara of Las Ninas Textiles. Zara works directly with the makers in Mexico and has built up a trusted relationship over the last 20+ years. We sold these dresses for many years in the shop and retired the last of the stock into storage, but now is the time for these pieces to find new homes and be worn.

Made from 100% cotton calico, fully hand stitched, smocked and embroidered. It has a front and back yoke with the skirt smocked and gathered. Sleeves are a short puffed sleeve coming into a smocked cuff.

This garment has been photographed on a size 10 trade mannequin. The photos don’t catch the natural calico of the fabric. Being handmade these garments all vary in size, they do not correspond to western size greats. Please refer to the measurements and try measuring them against garments in your wardrobe to get a feel for size if you aren’t handy with a tape measure on your body.
