Bessie Coleman Women's Dress Moonstone Cotton with Ivory Hand Smocking

Named after the first African-American woman to earn her pilot’s license comes a classic white cotton nightgown for Women.  The gown features a regiment of neat pin tucks on the front bodice for an easy slimline silhouette through the body, which is generously complimented by rich hand smocked detailing on the cuff and the back. 

Made from acres of cool white cotton, the graceful shape is enhanced by a wealth of soft details: our signature gathered collar hand stitched with a cross stitch finish, generous blouson sleeves,  hand smocked, frill cuffs and a dainty front button placket with pairs of diminutive buttons. And because daredevils always have one more surprise up their sleeve, the back of this dress features a stunning central smocked motif in lustrous ivory threads, adding gentle swing to the silhouette  - as Queen of the loop-the-loops, we think Bessie would approve!
