I’m real­ly excit­ed to release the first ANAGRASSIA man­u­fac­tured prod­uct: THE DARIA DRESS!

The dress­es were made in Chica­go, IL and South Bend, IN. Thank you to every­one who worked with me on this project! You all were all incred­i­ble and so patient! 

The DARIA dress is a mod­ern take on a dress my Babcha cre­at­ed and designed over 50 years ago for my mom (who hap­pens to be named Daria !), which was then passed on to her grand­chil­dren and great-grand­chil­dren. Not only is this dress unde­ni­ably cute, but because of its bohemi­an style, it can be worn through­out the course of sev­er­al years as a dress and then as a blouse.

Instead of using a poly­ester poplin fab­ric like the mate­r­i­al my Babcha used, I updat­ed the dress by using an ivory microfiber from Europe. I also added belt loops & bow to the design.

I planned a pho­to shoot using all my young nieces and cousins’ daugh­ters for a day that we would all be in the same town. It hap­pened to be a day with 100 degree heat index and humid­i­ty that approached 100%. It was a true test of patience for my sis­ter to cap­ture a group of lit­tle girls look­ing at the cam­era at the same time. (I still think that nev­er happened!!)

The microfiber mate­r­i­al is top qual­i­ty and it is also machine-wash­able with results, which are a mother’s dream!! Dur­ing the pho­to shoot, the girls who ranged in ages from 6 months to 8, as kids like to do, pro­ceed­ed to smear them with food, red lol­lipop stains, dirt, and oth­er uniden­ti­fi­able sub­stances. I was under the impres­sion that they might nev­er come clean.

When I sprayed stain remover and threw the dress­es in the machine for a gen­tle wash, every­thing came out with the excep­tion of small Sharpie mark­er dot (which I should’ve poured alco­hol on before wash­ing). THE DRESSES ARE GREAT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS AND EVERYDAY WEAR!

The dress is avail­able for sale in sizes 12mos/18mos, 24mos/2T, and 3T (3T will fit 4T /5T as a blouse/tunic) and avail­able in col­ors pink/red and blue (col­or refer­ring to rib­bon trim on ivory microfiber).
