Andover Apples Dress

The first day of school only happens once — make sure her dress is one she'll remember forever. The Andover Apples Dress from The Proper Peony's Fall 2026 Classic Collection was made for exactly that morning: the new backpack, the nervous smile, the photo on the front porch that you'll frame and keep forever. Crafted in crisp light blue cotton twill with a hand-smocked yoke of bright red apples and sweet red rick-rack trim, this is the dress she'll point to in pictures years from now and say, "That was my first day of kindergarten." From Pre-K drop-off to elementary school hallways, the Andover Apples Dress turns an ordinary Tuesday into a treasured memory.
