Royal Forest Party Dress

Part of the Ceci Johnson x Little Goodall collaboration, the Royal Forest Dress carries Ceci Johnson's brushstrokes into fabric, its botanical woodland print hand-painted by our founder. An ocelot peers through peonies; foxes, owls, rabbits and squirrels nestle among parrot tulips, poppies, irises and roses; butterflies and beetles punctuate the scene like hidden jewels. Set against deepest black, every brushstroke comes vividly to life. This dress feels as wonderful as it looks. A high waisted bodice meets an exceptionally full skirt, gathered for sweeping volume, with a ruffled underskirt beneath for an irresistible sense of twirl. The three-quarter-length sleeves are fully lined and finished with circular ruffle cuffs that fall open to reveal more woodland friends within. Cut from smooth, silky charmeuse, the Royal Forest Dress is the perfect companion to our Royal Forest Coat: storybook drama with a sophisticated point of view, dressed up yet wonderfully comfortable. The Royal Forest Dress belongs to evenings that sparkle: a holiday performance of The Nutcracker, dinner at Tavern on the Green, a candlelit family celebration. It's perfectly suited for the theatre, holiday parties, winter weddings, and formal portraits. Worn with the coordinating Royal Forest Coat, it's an unforgettable look for a season of lights, parties, and visions of sugarplums. This dress and its matching coat come from our highly anticipated collaboration with Little Goodall, crafters of heirloom-quality children's dresswear known for storybook artistry and exceptional craftsmanship. Together, we've brought Ceci Johnson's signature watercolor artistry, the same hand that defines our luxury event designs and bespoke wedding invitations, to a collection made for life's most treasured family celebrations.
