Step into the swaying grass of a storybook prairie with Astrior’s Little Shop on the Prairie collection, inspired by the beauty of the American prairie and the fleeting feeling of summer's glow as it begins to soften into fall: think warm afternoons, overflowing gardens, wildflower fields, weathered farmhouses, and golden evenings that stretch towards evening's cool embrace.

Some dresses are made for a slower kind of summer, when the days are warm and there’s nowhere you need to be before supper. The Sarsaparilla Dress brings a little prairie romance to everyday dressing in chocolate brown plaid, with full smocking, chunky elastic straps, and generous pockets made for berry picking. The Appaloosa Overalls put a playful spin on Western dressing in brown cotton patterned with white polka dots, named after the speckled coat of the American Appaloosa horse. The Calico Dress feels like a Sunday afternoon in the country with its navy cotton, dainty mustard and white florals, lace trim, tie waist, and button-down silhouette. The Nellie Dress brings the richness of the transitional season to evening wear in mulberry satin, delicate lace, and graceful ruffle details.

Equal parts rustic and romantic, Little Shop on the Prairie is our ode to late summer: to simple pleasures, beautiful things made to be lived in, and the magic of those golden days when fall is just beginning to appear on the horizon.
