Our namesake Secret Garden Dress embodies elegance with a natural fibre cotton fabric and soft underskirt. The holy trinity knot and deep pockets add functionality while capturing the all encompassing representation of the three virtues of faith, hope, and love, or the three planes of existence – earth, water, and sky; the mother maiden and crone aspects of our existence and life journey. Flared sleeves and intricate embroidery enhance the luxurious feel.
100% cotton underskirt with rayon outer.
Care Instruction: First wash, cold by hand. Then, delicate cold machine wash only. Line or air dry. Steam iron only if necessary.

I love it and the fit is perfect! Almost as if it was made for me haha! :) The colour is lovely and it was the triquetra trinity knot which attracted me to it when I first saw it.

Several decades ago, I was very involved with re-enactment, plus experimental and living history, specialising in the early medieval period in Northern Europe. Every weekend, I mostly wore nothing but kirtls and linen underdresses, etc. And I loved it! The clothing (which I made myself) was so comfortable.
Fast forward to now, and I no longer have the space nor energy to make my own clothing, so I was overjoyed to discover the Secret Garden dresses, which essentially bridge the gap between historical and modern clothing. I knew I just had to have them!
As well as looking amazing, the dress is so comfortable. The fabric is soft but strong (like me, ha ha!), and it's well-made, too. I love the embroidery - the Triquetra design is beautiful, and turns what could be a very plain dress (nothing wrong with that, of course) into something very special. I'd love to see this dress made in deep greens and rich browns. Hint, hint!
My only criticism is the length. As a tall person (5'10"), I find it to be quite short (c. calf length). It's not a huge problem - I wear it with an underskirt - but it would be lovely if we tall ladies were catered for a bit more!
Overall, though, I am very happy with this dress, and with Ancient Earth as a company!
