Our September Club Grace Outfit of the Month is nearly here, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. Introducing The Gathering Dress—a striking mid-19th century inspired ensemble that blends practicality with charm. With its crisp white blouse, flowing plaid skirt, and coordinating capelet, this look reflects the style of women during the Civil War era—dresses meant for daily life that still carried beauty, dignity, and grace.

And that’s not all—following the reveal, at 11 AM MDT, we’ll be offering a brand-new historical wig as well as a set of stunning Victorian-style nightgown for collectors who love expanding Grace’s wardrobe with even more authenticity.
