The Pockets Project

It’s here!! The Brie originally came in Poppy Red and Black when it launched, and it’s been a beloved style. If you missed either color the first time around, both of these colors are now available for preorder, along with the new Lilac Pink!

If you have your heart on a specific color, now is your time to snag it as we only have enough fabric to make 18 in Lilac Pink, 27 in Poppy Red, and 15 in Black. Preorders will run through this Saturday, April 11 (or until they sell out!). 

All dresses will ship by April 20, so you can enjoy them throughout the rest of spring and all summer long ☀️

Huge thank you to for such a thoughtful interview about my quest for deep pockets. From the women of the Rational Dress Society in the late 1800s who advocated for practical garments to designers like Claire McCardell in the 1940s/50s who embraced pockets, we all know that comfortable, functional, fashionable clothing is where it’s at.

It’s a full circle moment to be featured in the BDH as that’s where I started my first business that prioritized functional fashion: Dear Kate, a line of high-tech period underwear (perhaps a little ahead of its time). Brown had a culture that was wildly supportive of independent thinking, which I feel like we carry with us as alums forever and always.
