What’s the Story about Dresses from Poppy?


For charming clothes and fabrics that literally tell a story, think Poppy. This British, super-eco-friendly company designs fabrics in one hundred percent cotton using contemporary colors and a look that harks back to the 1930s with classic high waists and puffy skirts. Many of the dresses are designed with a “story” about Poppy and her dog, Fred, running around the hem and come with a small storybook so children can follow the adventures of their favorite characters. This summer’s dress collection follows Poppy and Fred as they go to see the sea. Poppy themed storybooks, greeting and thank-you cards, mugs, invitations, and coloring books are also available separately.

Clothes in Poppy collections come in sizes for newborns through six years, as well as adult sizes to match so Mom, baby and little girl can all dress in the latest “edition” of Poppy. Boys can also wear Poppy and look good in Beep Beep pajamas, shirts, knitted tops, and lots more.

Poppy fluffy petticoats are great to wear under dresses to provide that extra bit of puff, or can be worn on their own as tutus. True fans can also choose a selection of Poppy coordinated soft goods and room decor, including fabrics, lampshades, duvet covers, pillow cases, and pillows. Polly fabrics are available in adorable patterns like Frog Who Would a Wooing Go or Aunt Eva.

Gifts from Poppy include a whimsical book bag packed with its own coloring book; cotton book bags with little handles in lovely prints; and a wipe-off apron in the Beep Beep pattern for budding cooks.

The Poppy philosophy is anti-waste, so even tiny scraps of fabric are cleverly fashioned into bags and other small items to make use of every bit. Lovely hand knits made from one hundred percent cotton are produced under the guidelines and spirit of Fair Trade and come all the way from the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal. Machine washable and comfortable to wear, cardigan sweaters and tops are designed stylishly short to end at the waist of dresses so both wearers and admirers can enjoy the clothes’ pretty shape.

A practical yet stylish red knitted coat starts off long with sleeves meant to be turned up as kids grow. The coat transforms to a long cardigan for maximum wear. Scarves, mittens and hats match each season’s colors and offer snuggle-ready warmth in soft cotton.
