Dakota dress in Green Pheasant

This beautiful pheasant hand-block print is taken from an 18th-century archive document.  It has a rich and beautiful history with pieces held by various museums and many speculations as to its origins.  We have redrawn the pattern, keeping the original repeat intact and the results are wonderfully painterly and hopefully a fitting tribute to this brilliant old design

The Dakota dress is in a poplin cotton, with pockets, buttons on the top half of the dress and a full skirt with three tiers and full-length sleeves

The size chart below is the actual size of the garment, so body size needs to be an inch less or so than the dress size
