Hey Nyamily! Sorry it's been over a month since the last design showcase blog! I originally wanted to aim for at least two blogs a week, but we’ve had some really important things going on behind the scenes that have taken up a lot of time haha. I’m keeping it a secret for now, but let’s just say it's a complete gamechanger which involves removing some of the bottlenecks we’ve been facing during our growth spurt this past 6 months 👀 I’m both nervous and super excited for what’s ahead!
Anyways, here’s our new Strawberry Picnic Collection! 🍓🧺 It comes in two colourways, and I absolutely love how soft, whimsical, and romantic the whole collection feels. I hope you love it too! 💕
Looking for something available now?
1) Strawberry Picnic Dress 1
This is our Strawberry Picnic Dress 1, one of the sweeter designs from the collection! 🍓🌷 I wanted this one to feel soft, romantic and a little bit storybook-like, with lots of tiny details throughout. It features a strawberry and floral print, a lace-up corset-inspired bodice, puffy off-the-shoulder sleeves, and lots and lots of ruffles. The little bows and layered pink gingham skirt are probably my favourite parts 🥹
The whole Strawberry Picnic collection was inspired by that dreamy feeling of getting dressed up for a picnic on a warm spring or summer day, just with a little extra whimsy!!
2) Strawberry Picnic Top
This is the Strawberry Picnic Top, for anyone who loves the Strawberry Picnic look but wants something a little easier to mix and match! It has a big strawberry-shaped front panel, corset-inspired lacing, soft floral sleeves, and plenty of little ruffles and bows throughout. The open back has criss-cross straps and a tie at the neck for an extra cute detail.
I especially love this one because you could dress it up with a big whimsical skirt or keep it more casual with a simple skirt, shorts, or jeans. It still feels very Strawberry Picnic without needing to wear the full head-to-toe look!
3) Strawberry Picnic Overall Skirt
This is our Strawberry Picnic Overall Skirt, and I think this one might be one of the cutest ways to make the collection a little more casual! 🍓 The front bib is shaped like a big strawberry with tiny seed details and soft ruffles around the edge, while the adjustable overall straps cross in the back.
The skirt has a full, floaty shape with little bows at the waist, gingham side panels, and a ruffled hem to tie everything together. Pair it with a simple blouse or tee for something more everyday and wearable.
4) Strawberry Picnic Romper
This is our Strawberry Picnic Romper, and we wanted this one to be extra playful while still having all the sweet little details from the rest of the collection! 🍓 It features a corset-inspired lace-up front, an off-the-shoulder ruffled neckline, gingham puff sleeves, and adorable strawberry-shaped pockets on each side.
The little heart buckle and suspender-style straps add even more detail, while the shorts make it such a cute option for warmer weather!
Do you guys like rompers? I love how they look, but I find them a little annoying when you have to pee LOL, so in general I tend to prefer two-piece sets. But rompers just look SO CUTE omg 😭 Maybe they're worth the struggle.
5) Strawberry Picnic Apron Dress
This one might be one of the sweetest pieces from the Strawberry Picnic Collection! 🍓 We wanted to make an apron-style dress that felt like something you’d wear to a little strawberry garden picnic. It has a big strawberry-shaped bib, tiny strawberry print, strawberry pockets, lots of layered ruffles, and of course plenty of bows.
I especially love how poofy and layered the skirt is! The little strawberry pockets might be my favorite detail though 😭 It comes in both this soft pink colourway and a deeper red version for a completely different vibe. Which one would you wear?
6) Strawberry Picnic Dress 3
This dress is for anyone who wants to feel like they’re wandering through a strawberry garden in a fairytale 🍓 I love how romantic this one turned out! It has a corset-inspired bodice, off-the-shoulder ruffles, flowy bell sleeves, and a super layered high-low skirt with little gingham details underneath.
The back might actually be my favorite part! I LOVE a giant bow 🎀 I wanted this design to feel soft, flowy and whimsical while still having lots of little details to look at. Would you wear this for an actual picnic? Because I absolutely would lol.
If you enjoyed this collection, you might also like our Strawbunny Collection or Cherry Jubilee Collection.
