Meet the Harper: The Summer Dress She'll Actually Want to Wear
Summer heat is no joke — and neither is a little girl on a mission to play. Between backyard adventures, days at camp, and afternoons with her best friends, the last thing she needs is a dress that gets in the way. That's why we designed the Harper Bamboo Bow Tie Tank Dress: a breezy, beautiful, wear-it-everywhere essential that keeps up with her all summer long.
The Dress That Does It All
The Harper is everything we love about summer dressing — light, easy, and just a little bit sweet. Made from our signature BamBeanie™ Bamboo Viscose fabric (95% viscose from bamboo, 5% spandex), it's the kind of dress that feels like wearing nothing at all — in the very best way.
The naturally stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric keeps her cool when the temperature climbs, which means no mid-morning outfit changes and no cranky camp drop-offs. Whether she's chasing fireflies or doing cartwheels in the backyard, the Harper's flowy gathered skirt moves with her every step.
Pretty Prints She'll Love
Available in playful, eye-catching prints, the Harper is the kind of dress that sparks a little joy just looking at it. Right now you'll find her blooming in our Garden print — a whimsical mix of florals, ladybugs, and botanical details that feel like a summer afternoon in the best possible way — as well as the sweet and timeless Mae Floral and the cheerful Cherry on Top print.
These aren't just pretty patterns; they're conversation starters, confidence builders, and the reason she'll be pulling this dress out of the laundry pile before it's even folded.
That Bow Tie Shoulder Moment
You know the details that make a piece feel special? The Harper has one: charming bow tie shoulder accents that add just the right touch of sweetness without being fussy. No scratchy hardware, no complicated closures — just a little bow that makes the whole look feel like it was designed with her in mind (because it was).
Made for Sensitive Skin
If your girl has skin that notices everything, bamboo fabric is your new best friend. Our BamBeanie™ fabric is:
- Ultra-soft and naturally stretchy — no stiff seams or rough textures
- Free from harsh chemicals and flame retardants
- Breathable and temperature-regulating — keeps her comfortable whether it's 90°F at camp or breezy on a shaded porch
- Machine washable — holds its shape, color, and softness wash after wash
Sensitive skin shouldn't mean sacrificing style. The Harper proves you can have both.
Where Will She Wear It?
Honestly? Everywhere.
- Camp days when she needs a dress that can handle arts and crafts, a game of tag, and the bus ride home
- Playdates with her best friends (bonus points if they match)
- Family BBQs and summer celebrations where she wants to look cute but needs to move freely
- Birthday parties — hers or her best friend's
- Literally just Tuesday — because some dresses are too good to save
