Blue Boucle Ruffle Coat

A dress coat in soft blue boucle, cut with a ruffled collar, ruffle detail at the cuffs, and a skirt that flares generously from a fitted shoulder line. It fastens with covered buttons at the front.

Boucle is the reason this coat holds its silhouette. The looped, textured weave has body of its own, so the flare stands away from the child rather than hanging flat, and the surface carries interest without needing applied ornament. It is also forgiving in a way smooth wool is not, since the texture disguises the ordinary marks of a winter afternoon.

A coat matters more than families expect at winter occasions. Between the car, the church, and the front door it appears in a great many of the photographs actually taken, so it is worth treating as part of the outfit rather than as something worn over it.

Suited to winter portraits, holidays, flower girl duties at cold-weather weddings, and formal family occasions.

Made in the United States from imported materials.
