Ellie Dress

The "Ellie Dress", came about after I stumbled across the fabric while on Spoonflower.  Created by artist, Endemic, I found the Elephant March to be irresistible.  There's a shared love for Elephants between my daughter and her Uncle Renny.  17 years ago, he gave her a stuffed, white elephant for her first Christmas and we now have its' remains stored safely away.  "Ellie" was with us for years, and like a "Where's Waldo" book, she can be spotted in most, if not all family pictures.  Ellie and our little girl were inseparable.  She shared every part of her childhood with her.  If you were a stranger to our home, you would soon be introduced to a straggly white elephant--and even now, thinking of her, I find it endearing, how an inanimate object can come to feel so real by the devoted affection of a little child.

This fabric is specially printed just for you upon placement of your order. Because of this, please allow up to 3 weeks for processing (but in many cases completed in 2 weeks).

Peasant dress in short, sheered sleeves and tie backs. Elephant March design by textile artist, Endemic is made from 100% Cotton and is BEYOND adorable.



If Ellie's (as we call them) put a soft spot in your heart, you will probably love this fabric as much as we do.  I wish our daughter were still small enough for this dress -- and that Ellie was still bright and new...sewing I can do--turning back the time...not so good at.

You can find the "Ellie Dress" here.
