Playful yet nostalgic, Rosie is a joyful clash of two vintage treasures – a sunny orange cotton gingham upholstery fabric for the bodice and a 1970s floral duvet for the skirt and dramatic flounce sleeves. The result? A piece that has summer picnics written allllll over her. 

Rosie’s bodice is fully lined with soft cotton for comfort, while her skirt’s gathered shape brings movement and charm. The flounce sleeves add a touch of drama and romance, making her equally at home dressed down with sandals or dressed up for a special occasion. Every seam is thoughtfully finished for heirloom-worthy quality, and of course she is one of a kind.

  • Bodice: vintage cotton gingham upholstery fabric, fully lined in cotton
  • Skirt & sleeves: repurposed 1970s floral duvet
  • Flounce sleeves for a romantic, voluminous look
  • Gathered waist for an easy, flattering fit
  • One of a kind & handmade in Manchester

Rosie will fit up to approx UK size 18 or smaller busted 20, but please do check the measurements before you order. The best way to do this is to measure your favourite item of clothing from the arm pit to the arm pit lay flat and compare to these measurements.

Pit to pit lay flat: 25”

Length from shoulder: 36”

Wash on cold and hang to dry naturally to care for her and the environment.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Nicole and her beautiful creations! I own four of her dresses and at least three blouses and a few other bits and bobs - and I wear them ALL the time, on special occasions as well as around the house just because

I bought the most beautiful liberty handmade shirt which I've already worn countless times. I also own a few of Nicole's reworked shirts as well. Nicole makes the experience so wonderful each time I visit her. Already saving for my next shirt.

Hi, I'm Nicole

I design, make, pick and pack your orders here at The Fruit Moth. Sometimes people just call me 'The Fruit Moth' and I'm okay with that.

I hope you find everything you've been dreaming of here, as long as it's clothing and accessories made from vintage textiles. Because that's what we do!

Love,

Nicole
