Rebel Romance Books and Cats Midi Stretch Dress
Books? Excellent. Cats? Obviously. A dress covered in books AND cats?
The Rebel Romance Books and Cats Midi Dress is made for bookish cat people, those whose dream afternoon involves getting lost in a book while a cat inconveniently decides that their lap is the only acceptable place to sit.
Designed by Jen James Design, the gorgeous dark print is packed with curious black cats, colourful stacks of books, open pages, crescent moons, stars, butterflies and tiny magical details. The purple neckline adds an extra pop of colour that makes the whole print sing.
Made from soft 95% cotton and 5% elastane stretch jersey, this alternative midi dress has a gently fitted bodice before flowing into a beautifully swishy midi skirt. And yes, we gave it pockets, because where else are you supposed to keep your bookmarks, phone and emergency cat treats?
Easy to pull on, wonderfully comfortable and full of personality, it's the kind of dress you can wear for bookshop wandering, coffee dates, library trips, cosy weekends, work days or anywhere you fancy bringing a little bookish magic.

Amazing!
The design is so cute and the fit is just perfect. I absolutely love the pocket on the from and the side pockets have so much room. I have so many of their pinafores and I will never get enough of them
I tried this on and it felt so perfect - even better than I’d hoped! The fabric has enough firmness to give a great silhouette, it felt comfortable, and so many small details to appreciate (like the buttons!). Excited to style it and wear it out :)
Currently wearing my new dungarees that feel real nice like super smooth , I orderd a large thinking they where bluffing with sizes there not am 12-14 an the large is baggggy
Purchased in a small store in Thurso.
My first pair of four so far
I adore this design 😍
OMG - I think I have a new favourite pair of dungarees (and I have over 100 pairs!). I was gutted when I missed out on the first batch but managed to pre-order them. The design is so much fun and the fabric feels lovely.
Dragon print dungarees. Love the quality and the prints are amazing. Wonderful to know they are designed by real humans.
Another wonderful design, vibrant, comfy and so soft.
I absolutely adore these dungarees. The photos do not do justice to the details in the pattern - gorgeous colours with depth and detail in each dragon. The fit it the same as all my other pairs of RR dungarees. Generous pockets and quality stretch fabric. I love this brand for their consistency, quality, friendliness, epic designs and general awesomeness!
Excellent boiler suit so comfy lovely fabric
These trousers are super cute and comfortable! The elastic waste is excellent and doesn’t create pressure, and they fit very well. The trousers are soft to the touch and feel super well constructed. The print looks excellent in person and is super high quality too. The pockets are a good size. The wide legs don’t brush up against each other much whilst walking and really suit the style of the print. Overall, super happy with these! Thank you :)
These trousers are so adorable. The print looks excellent and high quality in person! The trousers feel super well constructed, and are soft to the touch. They are incredibly comfortable and fit well, especially due to the elastic waist which even avoids pressure when bending down! The wide leg fit suits these trousers well, and they do not brush against each other much when walking. Pockets are a good size too. Super happy with these! Thank you :)
I absolutely adore this pattern. I brought it as a treat and in the first day of wearing it has 7 compliments from strangers about it.
super soft clothing AND ethically made?! LOVE
They’re beautiful & so comfy! My favourite pair ever!
Same fit and quality dungarees as usual. Beautiful print, a lot of people asked me about them.. which led to a lot of book chat! (Forth wing, The priory of the orange tree, etc) love them 🐉
