FALL SALE UPDATE:

Eleanor buys in small runs for one shop, so only a limited number of these are left. If you can still click 'Add to cart', it's still available.

There's a dress that works from the airport to the beach dinner without stopping to change. The Penelope is that dress. A relaxed, floor-length shirt-dress silhouette in soft linen-cotton — collar open, short sleeves rolled, a deep V framed by dark botanical embroidery that runs from neck to chest. The kind of detail that makes a plain maxi look like it came from a boutique in the south of France.

✔ Botanical Embroidered V-Neckline — a dark floral branch embroidery that traces both sides of the deep V from collar to chest. The handcraft detail that makes a simple linen silhouette read as considered and boutique-quality.

✔ Open Shirt Collar — a relaxed, spread collar that frames the embroidery and the neckline without stiffening. The collar that works open on the beach and styled with layered necklaces for an evening out.

✔ Short Rolled Sleeves — a short sleeve with a natural cuff roll that adds casual ease and keeps the dress cool through a full day in warm weather.

✔ Relaxed A-Line Floor-Length Silhouette — a straight, loose body that falls from shoulder to ankle without cinching at the waist. The shape that flatters across body types and moves freely with every step.

✔ Chest Patch Pocket — a single patch pocket at the left chest that adds a utilitarian detail and a resting place for a hand or a phone without disrupting the embroidery.

✔ Five Colorways — cream, olive green, sky blue, black, yellow. From sun-washed neutrals to saturated summer tones — each version of the embroidery lands differently against the base color and all five work from spring through fall.

Linen body. Embroidered collar. The vacation dress that earns its place in every bag you pack.

One Shop on Main Street, Since 1994

For thirty-two years this has been a small shop in Chatham, full of pieces meant to be worn, not admired on a hanger.

We were open from May to October and closed our doors every November, like most of the street. Women found us on a summer weekend, went home, and called the shop in the fall to ask if we still had that coat. We were closed.

My daughter Caroline spent eight years telling me we should be online. Last spring she won, on one condition: I keep choosing every piece myself. Twice a year, by hand, and never more than one shop can carry.

This is our first fall with the doors open. Thank you for being here for it.
