Some dresses are saved for special occasions.

This isn't one of them.

The Florrie Dress is made for birthday parties, picnics in the garden, muddy adventures, afternoon baking and every ordinary Tuesday in between. It's the dress she'll reach for over and over again. The one that's forever remembered in family photos before eventually being folded away, carrying years of happy childhood memories with it.

She is made from beautiful 100% cotton in three dreamy fabric choices (Daydream - grey base, Bramble - pink base and Meadow - blue base) and lined through the bodice with soft cotton voile, Florrie is designed to be as comfortable as it is beautiful. The classic Peter Pan collar, wooden buttons down the back and softly gathered puff sleeves give it a timeless, vintage feel, while the elasticated cuffs make sizing up a wonderful choice so she can wear and love it for even longer.

It's made for little girls with pockets full of treasures, daisy chains in their hair and endless imaginations. For backyard adventures, climbing trees, collecting flowers and dancing barefoot through the grass. Because childhood doesn't need a special occasion. It simply deserves beautiful clothes that are made to be lived in.

Like every ArchieBee piece, each Florrie Dress is lovingly handmade by me in my Blue Mountains studio using beautiful natural fibres and finished with the kind of care that only comes from making one garment at a time. It's designed to be worn, washed, loved and eventually passed on to a younger sister, cousin or friend, becoming part of another family's story.

And because every beautiful dress deserves the finishing touch, each Florrie Dress comes with a matching handmade hair accessory, whether that's a statement bow or a pair of matching bows, depending on the fabric.

100% cotton outer with a pure cotton voile lined bodice, wooden buttons, soft elastic cuffs and timeless styling make this an heirloom-quality Australian made girls dress that's just as perfect for birthday parties as it is for everyday adventures.

Cold gentle machine wash. Line dry in the shade and enjoy watching it become part of countless beautiful childhood memories.
