The Revolutionary Capsule: Modern 1776 Meets American Patriotism
Warm Weather Foundational Pieces
-
The Williamsburg Wrap: Navy cotton-linen wrap dress with white piping along edges, three-quarter sleeves that can roll and button at elbow, midi length with gentle A-line, self-tie belt. The wrap style echoes period crossover bodices while remaining office-appropriate.
The Martha Washington Midi: White eyelet cotton dress with square neckline (period-accurate), cap sleeves with small ruffle, empire waist with navy grosgrain ribbon under bust, lined to prevent transparency. Modern length at just below knee.
The Abigail Shirtdress: Striped seersucker (thin red and white) with classic shirt collar, button front with mother-of-pearl stars, self-belt, sleeves that roll and tab. Breathable and professional.
The Liberty Linen: Powder blue linen shift dress with subtle pintuck details at shoulders, sleeveless with modest armholes, invisible side zipper, fully lined bodice. Simple silhouette allows for accessory play.
-
The Declaration Camisole: Silk charmeuse in ivory with delicate lace trim at neckline (reminiscent of period fichus), adjustable straps, tucking length. Layer under blazers or wear alone.
The Freedom Tee: Elevated cotton-modal blend in navy with subtle star embroidery at neckline, cap sleeves, slightly boxy cut for airflow. Not your average t-shirt.
The Betsy Blouse Sleeveless: White cotton poplin sleeveless blouse with small ruffle collar, covered placket, longer length for tucking options. Professional tank alternative.
The Independence Eyelet: Short-sleeve blouse in white cotton eyelet, crew neck with small keyhole back, invisible zipper closure. Breathable but structured.
-
The Revolutionary Culottes: Navy linen-blend wide leg culottes hitting mid-calf, high waist with hidden elastic back, side pockets, looks like skirt in motion. Period silhouette meets modern comfort.
The Patriot Shorts: Tailored bermuda shorts in khaki (buff colored), pressed crease, cuffed hem, 7-inch inseam. Professional length with historical color.
The Colonial Skort: A-line skort in red cotton-blend, built-in shorts underneath, side zipper, hitting just above knee. Freedom of movement with coverage.
The Federal Flowing Skirt: White cotton voile maxi with navy embroidered hem detail (subtle stars), elastic waist with flat front, lined to mid-thigh. Breezy but appropriate.
-
The Valley Forge Vest: Lightweight navy linen vest, five button closure, back belt for adjusting fit, wear over dresses or with separates. Structure without warmth.
The Congress Cardigan: Featherweight merino in cream, three-quarter sleeves, cropped length, pearl buttons. For aggressive air conditioning.
The Minuteman Kimono: Navy silk-blend kimono jacket with white star print border, bracelet sleeves, open front, midi length. Modern take on period robes.Item description
