A timeless and romantic silhouette, the Poet Dress is my modern interpretation of the Edwardian day dress, reimagined with comfort, functionality, and cottagecore sensibilities at its heart. Designed for everyday wear and quiet moments alike, it blends historical inspiration with practical details for modern life.
The Poet features a high, frilled neckline that frames the face, paired with a high front and back bodice for a modest yet striking silhouette reminiscent of Edwardian-era design. Functional fabric-covered buttons run down the front, blending seamlessly into the dress and adding subtle vintage charm. Long sleeves are finished with soft frill detailing at the cuffs, echoing the delicate details of the neckline.
A fixed, gathered waistband creates a flattering shape while remaining comfortable throughout the day. At the back, the adjustable ribbon tie allows you to gently cinch the waist to your preferred fit or leave it looser for a softer, more relaxed fit. A hidden side seam zipper ensures ease of dressing while preserving the clean lines of the bodice.
Below the waist, the Poet Dress opens into a voluminous skirt with generous movement and drape—perfect for walking, twirling, and layering through the seasons. Designed with functionality in mind, the dress includes two deep, hidden side pockets, allowing you to carry your daily essentials without interrupting the silhouette.
The dress is fully lined in breathable cotton, providing comfort, structure, and opacity for year-round wear. True to CottagecoreWear philosophy, this piece is made to move with you—romantic yet practical, historical yet wearable.
