In the golden hush of a Nestington summer morning, when the river glows like spun glass and the air hums with the wings of tiny unseen things, there stands a garden that appears only to those who believe in old stories.
It is a garden where ribbons grow on trellises, where roses open in perfect spirals at the sound of laughter, and where small birds carry messages stitched in sunlight.
The Rose Bay Anglaise Dress ‘Birds, Bows & Roses’ is said to be sewn from cloth gathered in that very place.
Its soft blue holds the colour of a sky just before a warm day begins, scattered with climbing roses and looping golden bows that look as though they were tied by the hands of a very patient fairy. Little birds rest among the blossoms, waiting to take flight the moment a nester begins to twirl.
The Peter Pan collar curves like the petals of a storybook flower, framing a face glowing with adventure, while the gently gathered puff sleeves hold the shape of summer clouds drifting over the Swan River. Beneath it all, the broderie anglaise hem peeks out like a secret lace petticoat from another era, meant for garden parties that exist somewhere between memory and make-believe.
This is the dress for carrying posies to imaginary tea tables.
For writing letters to Willow and tucking them into hollow trees.
For dancing on warm wooden floors while the afternoon light spills through tall arched windows.
A rare treasure from a time when fabrics were printed like heirlooms and kept for the nesters who would one day find them, this piece does not simply dress a child.
It crowns her the keeper of the garden.
