Embodying what it means to be defiantly delicate is the heart and soul of Ástríðr. Dresses, embroidery, drapery and the like have often been associated with ideas of feminine frailty. It looks pretty yet breaks easily. Ástríðr exists to resist these ideas. For us, the right dress with the right embroider, or the right fit that lays on the body just so becomes a suit of armor that allows us to meet the world on our own terms, with confidence.

VISIT OUR STOREPictures just don't do the Amina dress justice! This stunning gown comes in a diaphanous dusty pink crepe de chine that is sumptuous to the touch. The cap sleeves are bordered in a delicate cream lace, just like the illusion lace neckline, which is finished at the center with an ample pink satin double ribbon. The empire waist features delicate, see-through needlepoint lacework that is repeated down the flowy, tiered skirt in a gunne-sax style. The bottom hem of this maxi gown boasts three dainty tiers that add floaty movement to the skirt. If worn open, this dress is reversible, featuring a row of lustrous mother of pearl buttons that open at the center back.
Perfect your pie crust recipe in the Ainsling Set, in a darling brown frabric speckled with a dainty yellow, pink, and green ditsy floral print. This two-piece set comes with a semi cropped blouse with thick straps perfect for hiding bra straps, and a ribbon bow that threads in and out of the needle-point style neckline to tie at the center of the bust. It has vertical pleated detailing along the bodice with functional hook and eye clasps down the center of the top. Smocked sides ensure a comfy, custom fit, and the bottom ruffle gives the subtlest nod to a peplum.
Your friend in the Aida dress knows exactly where to forage for wild blueberries! The quality cotton of this beautiful beige midi sundress is specked with blue, sage, and lavendar florals. The elasticated ruffled flutter straps can be worn on- or off-the-shoulder, and the fully elasticated bodice provides comfort that moves with you. Three ample bows decorate the front of the bodice. The full skirt with hidden pockets tumbles away from the body at the natural waist.

Learn MoreMother's Day, 2021 was our opening date, and this day carries particular significance to me, Astrid Angell (owner of Ástríðr), hi! As a little girl, I refused to wear anything but dresses. My mother, sensing the confidence and agency this instilled in me even as a child, encouraged me from then on to wear whatever I wanted, no matter what, so long as it made me feel strong. In May of 2020 she passed away. Ástríðr exists to honor the strength and wisdom that my mother imparted on me, namely, what it means to be defiantly delicate.
