“Dear Florence, Love Nancy” is a romantic homage to my Grandma Nancy, expressed through soft silhouettes, delicate textures, and sculptural florals. It imagines a quiet conversation between two women—Florence and Nancy—connected through memory, love, and craft.

Voluminous forms, airy ruffles, and layered tulle echo the softness of blooming flowers. Inspired by ethereal femininity and vintage handiwork, each piece balances tenderness with bold, whimsical shapes.

In tones of petal pink, seafoam blue, and sage green, the collection embraces softness as strength. Many fabrics were sourced from deadstock, including pieces from my grandma’s scarves—woven with memory and care.

Rooted in the heritage of Fleetwood, Nancy’s seaside hometown, the collection draws upon the faded grandeur and quiet resilience of coastal life. Gentle marine hues and textured layering evoke salt-worn elegance, while nods to maritime dress and Victorian promenades reflect the town’s nostalgic charm.

“Dear Florence, Love Nancy” is a love letter in motion—clothing as memory, gesture, and grace.
