Rebel Romance Books and Cats Stretch Oversized Smock Dress
Meet us at the bookshop... 🐈📚
You asked, we listened! Based on customer feedback, we’ve brought back our much loved original Oversized Smock Dress shape for a few very special limited runs.
These dresses have the same wonderfully roomy, floaty fit as our original oversized smocks and have been made using leftover fabric from the original printing process, giving existing fabric a fabulous new life. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and you’ll only find these limited edition oversized smock dresses exclusively on the Rebel Romance website! ✨
Featuring the enchanting Books and Cats print by Jen James Design, this all over design celebrates the perfect pairing of curious cats, stacks of books and sparkly details. It’s basically a wearable love letter to bookworms, cat lovers and anyone whose ideal afternoon involves getting lost in a good story with a furry reading companion nearby.
And obviously, IT HAS POCKETS! Hidden side seam pockets give you somewhere handy for your phone, keys and all the random things you simply must carry.
Ethically made in India using Oeko Tex approved vegan dyes, this black stretch smock dress is available in sizes UK 4 to 26, making it a brilliant everyday addition to an alternative, gothic or dopamine dressing wardrobe.
