The Ella Dress
The Ella Dress
Organic Cotton Skinny Rib Tulle
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Ella Dress is for kids who do things their own way. For the kids who question the rules, find their own voice, and never let anyone else write their story. This dress has a stretchy bodice with long sleeves and layers of soft tulle over an organic cotton underskirt. This skirt swishes and floats without being stiff or scratchy.
The fit is relaxed through the bodice and sleeves, designed for ease of movement and all body types. This isn't a fitted princess dress; it's a dress for climbing, spinning, and living in.
The Grimmwood colorway is a deep greenish teal, moody and a little bit magical.
Good to Know:
This is my first production run, and every dress runs slightly large.Rather than create waste, I'm selling these with full transparency at a reduced price. Please check the measurements carefully before ordering.
This piece is also made by a different partner factory than the main collection. The organic cotton is not GOTS certified, and the Grimmwood shade may vary slightly from other Grimmwood pieces in the line since it is a different fabric and dye lot.
Every order donates a book to a child in need.
This is a limited first run — once they're gone, they're gone.
This is a final sale item.
