We welcome our new MOONFLOWER SMOCK DRESS.... an original Fleetwood hand embroidered design paying homage to the 60s/70s vintage peasant dress.
Our Fleetwood Collection embroidered Folk Range is all hand loomed by our artisans using only natural fibres. Inspired by traditional Oaxacan Embroidery styles, and vintage Eastern European stitch work, but with little additions such as crochet panelling. These are hand stitched in small batches by our small cottage industry of Artisans in Thailand.
So much work goes into creating these beauties from conception, and they can take anywhere from
8-12 weeks in production. They are small batch and each delivery only comes in limited quantities, so as not to put too much pressure on our artisans.... it's the epitome of slow ethical fashion, just how we like it!
Product features:
- our unique Fleetwood hand stitched embroidery design of moonflowers and petals over the entire front - so much detailed hand crochet work!
- black fabric base with a beautiful earthy embroidery thread palette.
- full length elasticated sleeves with embroidery and stitch details.
- hand blanket stitch around neckline and hemline.
- embroidery detail along back neckline and shoulder area.
- an easy throw on smock style that can be belted up for extra shape.
- it can even be tucked up or tied as a blouse.
- 100% cotton attached under lining so no see through!
It's the little things and extra details that make these pieces so special.
A forever timeless and seasonless beauty, it is just so easy to wear - either layered over your fave pair of flares as a tunic, or simply with bare feet on a summery day at your fave festival or market. Also makes a stunning pregnancy dress.
Our Moonflower Smock is made from 100% cotton, beautifully soft and perfect for all seasons.
Great with tights and boots for Winter.

Gentle hand wash only in cold water only when necessary.
Gently wring out.
Hang on a hanger and dry in gentle breeze.
Cool iron inside out, or lightly steam to help fibres loosen and drop back into place.
Do not bleach or soak.
