Certain dresses make me pine for sweeter days, simpler times. This is one of them. The nostalgic shape and simple smocking carries me away to a beachside barbeque or patriotic parade... hot dogs and popsicle sticks... the star spangled banner... sparklers on the shore. America is beautiful- but your little
hometown firecracker will steal the show in this darling number.
W.D. Wolf's
Classic line is best known for smocking that is neither silly
nor stuffy. We honestly believe that smocked clothing can be elevated using simple design principles. Simplicity, creativity and beauty inspire each of our collections and the "bird on a wire" suite is no exception. We know you loved it last time, so we brought it back in an updated color palette that screams summer. Enjoy! These were a pre-order item (now closed) and will arrive to much fanfare in May. If you didn't snag one this week, we know you'll be hustling to get yours when it arrives!
We are so excited about 2013. Just a few days into the new year and already so much to look forward to- both personally and professionally. Our closest friends know the most thrilling news involves having our Daddy (and grandpa to almost 13 kiddos) home again in the very near future! Yay!! Not long after that comes the arrival of my brand new baby girl. Then Shannon's precious angel. Then (God willing) the sale of my home and the completion of a brand new one (including a shiny, new workshop). Spring and summer will bring gorgeous limited edition designs and a Preferred Pre-order Program aimed at minimizing our stress while offering a select, loyal following the ability to order in advance. W.D. Wolf also has plans to expand into home decor with the same simple, classic, slightly vintage style you've come to love. Excitement around every corner! We cannot thank you enough for your love and support during 2012. It has been a year full of wild growth and on-the-job training. We could not have done it without our hard-working husbands, understanding children, supportive friends & family, reliable production crews, and AMAZING fans. We love you all and look forward to an even better 2013. What are your big dreams for the new year? XOXO, Sarah & Shannon
Fishing, feasting on seafood, building silty sandcastles, sipping sangria... And shipping the latest Daydream orders. My kind of working vacation! Mostly, I am thrilled that the kids and I will to have an entire week of attention from Seth as we close out the summer. Much love from the Louisiana Coast!!
Much of our inspiration comes from our own life experience, doesn't it? My mom recently came over with the "gift" of several oversized cardboard boxes. She was "cleaning house" so to speak- finally clearing her closets of the treasures stored there for over 30 years. My loot consisted of four adolescent diaries, several scrapbooks, a handful of trophies, notes from classmates, dried flowers and pictures... lots of pictures. Looking through the old photos, I am reminded again that there really are no "new" ideas in design. It's our job to take the best ideas from the past and re-shape them into something
better... I'm not crazy about any of these dresses as a whole, but I LOVE certain details in each one! I'm also loving the knee high socks! And the subtly coordinating sibling sets! There's a very good chance you'll see some of these ideas come to life again at W.D. Wolf... You won't see the permed hair. Sorry, mom! XOXO, Sarah
