Marguerite FAQ

Marguerite, our grandmother, was ahead of her time. This hardworking single mother was the epitome of grace, style, effortless beauty. She loved chocolate but insisted she hated "sweets". Creole tomatoes with mayo and salt were her favorite snack. Her house was shabby chic before it became a thing, with rustic wood floors, a slipcovered white sofa, and an ancient clawfoot tub.

She always reminded us of a cross between Katherine Hepburn and Dorothy McGuire: equal parts no-nonsense and nurturing. Innately fashionable with an air of understated elegance, Marguerite (aka: Gigi) was a force to be reckoned with. She gave of herself until the very end, holding a job into her eighties! We loved her for so many things, but her ability to give and give (and give!) with joy and void of expectation is her true legacy. 

We hope you love this hardworking, versatile dress that makes us think of our grandmother!

As a side note: from the start we thought Marguerite's drop waist had a 1920's Daisy Buchanan vibe, and Marguerite means daisy in french! Meant to be. :) 

  • Q. When will Marguerite ship?

A. Sizes 6M to 8Y will ship in 3-5 business days. Sizes 9/10 and 11/12 ship in 5-7 business days.

  • Q. What are the differences between sizes (6M - 8Y) and (9/10 and 11/12)?

A. Sizes 6M to 8Y are short dresses (that come with bloomers or shorties). Easily size down for a tunic look! Sizes 9/10 and 11/12 are short dresses or tunics with no embroidery/flowers and an asymmetrical skirt that is longer at the sides than the center. 9/10 and 11/12 do not come with shorts. 

  • Q. Can you provide some fit suggestions?

A. We find Marguerite to run slightly generous in the width. The short length makes it great for a short dress or a tunic. Please see the fit photos on facebook and on the Marguerite listing. Model is 39 pounds and 43 inches tall and can wear 2T as a tunic, 3T as a short dress or longer tunic, and 4T as an easy fit dress. Sleeve is on trend with the season's statement bell, meant to hit below the wrist at full length. Size down for a shorter sleeve. Please see size chart for overall length.

  • Q. Anything else we should know?

A. Each flower is hand made and hand stitched to the hand embroidered "vine". All of that hand work means each flower and vine will be slightly unique and may vary from piece to piece. Dress is made from 100% cotton, lined in cotton. It is cozy and naturally textured. Please note the care instructions and hand wash or wash on delicate. Remove quickly and gently pull / reshape dress, lace, and crochet flowers.
