This is our "Midsection-y Modern Tee" but in a limited run of a washable merino wool blend knit. If you're a fan of merino, known as the "year-round wool", and a swing silhouette, this is your lucky day.
This weight and blend of knit is often used for skiwear underlayers, where wool is prized and washability is key. We decided it would make a lovely version of a brand favorite. Machine was COLD, air dry.
Perfectly neutral medium gray in color, solid not heathered. Experimenting with some fabrics hanging out in the workshop, this color/fiber is a one-time batch.
Yours may be sewn to order, allow 1-2 weeks to make before shipping.
Clean lines, midcentury modern cool. This bateau neckline is simply a slotted opening from shoulder to shoulder. Elegantly drapes right across the collarbone. Sophisticated and smart.
Even as the swing torso intentionally conceals the midsection, it pulls it off without looking oversized.
The fabric of the top folds in at the neck to create a clean edge uncomplicated by added stitches. Smooth any fabric at the neckline inward if it goes astray while popping it over your head.
Very roomy through though the torso. Falls to hip.
For this one, choose your size based on your shoulders. The neckline will appear strained/taut if you try on a size that is smaller than needed.
95% Merino Wool, 5% Nylon Made in the USA. Imported fabric.
Hand wash or machine wash delicate cycle, cold water only. Lay flat to dry, warm iron or gentle steam if needed. Dry cleaning is also an option. Do not put in the dryer. Do not use bleach.

Last one: a size 1X, in bargain black.
Moving Sale versions of the brand's popular sweatshirt dresses. They are inventory remaining and available only in sizes left. Seen here:
Blue cotton bouclé: These in particular have a nubby cotton sweater bouclé (yarn with loops producing a rough, nubby appearance on woven or knitted fabrics) surface, and a terry texture inside. Medium thickness, warm. 100% cotton, preshrunk.
Bargain Black sweatshirt fleece: Bargain Black is the same dress as our standard black but uses a Cotton/Poly blend sweatshirt fabric we did not want to waste. National Picnic intends to avoid sourcing synthetics once this batch is all sewn up. 2021 will move forward seeking out more sustainable and natural fabrics. Get them while you can. Classic black sweatshirt material, brushed on the inside, warm and soft with a structured drape. Cotton/Polyester blend, shrink resistant.
We test new batches of this dress in different colors/fabrics/weights to satisfy our own creative bent. Other versions may be elsewhere in the shop at this time, search by clicking here.
Sleeves are not hemmed, meant to be rolled to show the inside of the fabric. It isn't meant to be tight/snug. If more fitted is your thing, you might want to order a size down or choose a different dress entirely. Think "sweatshirt" for this one. You wouldn't expect a sweatshirt to cling.
Machine wash cold, and air dry. Sewn in the USA of imported fabrics.
Absolutely love the new dress! Very comfortable and well made!

Great dress
I found it runs a bit more snug than the heavier weight sweatshirt dress.... which I like a tad better. But still a great fabric and style.

These thick, fluffy, warm fleece sweatshirts are part of our "use it all" goal of ending 2020 by sewing up all the fabric in the studio. They are sewn and ready to ship.
We revisit this style regularly using different fabrics. This time in particular they are made from a warm fleece, comparable in quality to North Face fleece jackets but made into a sweater-like pullover style with no hardware/zips.
Sized to fit over another layer. Angled torso to flatter a woman's shape and curved hemline that lays flat.
Thick, chunky and warm. Sleeves can be rolled.
Will drape away from the body with structure. It isn't meant to be tight or snug. Of course, you don't expect a sweatshirt to cling.
100% poly fleece Made in the USA of USA made fabric. Exclusive of trim. Machine wash cold, air dry. Do not put in dryer.
I’ll wear this all winter long. Just the right weight to me, not too heavy, not too thin, comfortable and can be worn with jeans or dressed up with different pants/skirt. Looking forward to more sweaterfleece options. Great fit, like the classic Picnic tees, not too tight.

"Smoky": Wonderfully soft, quality black and gray plaid flannel sleeve. Paired with a charcoal heather knit body, for when you want a grayscale day.
It's designed to drape loosely over the torso when worn true to size. It's not meant to fit snugly. If tight is how you roll, this is not the top for you.
These tops are made from several blends of fabric based on random discovery of cool textiles during fabric hunts. This fits similarly to the loose-fitting signature National Picnic tee. Both styles are reinvented regularly with a series of new fabric combinations each season.
100% cotton sleeve, 95% Cotton/5% Spandex blend shell. Machine wash cold, hang dry for best care. Do not put in dryer. Warm iron if needed. Made in the USA of USA-milled and imported fabric.
I really love this shirt. I’ve worn it twice a week since I’ve gotten it. Somehow, it skims my belly (while not being oversized at all), which is exactly what my lack-of-confidence-in-my-body-shape self needs right now. Plus, it’s a good look for teaching classes over zoom - I feel put together but still appropriate for rarely leaving my house.

A dark pine colored field of flowers makes us think of shade-loving woodsy blooms. Graphic but organic composition of oranges and greens with touches of baby blue. Structured medium weight cotton drapes from the body, rather than clinging to it.
Keeping some of the best parts of a classic shirt—a back yoke, gathered detail at center back, the rounded shirttail hem—and styling it into an easy popover blouse. A semi-tailored look. Rounded neckline complements necklaces and scarves and 3/4 sleeves show off all of your favorite bracelets.
It's good at covering belly and/or tucking in, and hides most of the rear,but we don't think it's a tunic in the sense that it doesn't cover a lot of thigh.
This style is a popular one, so we make them using different fabrics of varying fibers both casual and fine, each season has new releases. See other listings for more.
100% GOTS-Certified Organic cotton. Machine wash cold, line dry. Made in the USA of imported fabric.
I love this blouse. The fabric is organic (!), the print is cheerful and the cut is becoming.

Made from a favorite fabric around here—a cotton/linen blend with adorable tactile tufts known as "swiss dots", as lightweight as it gets while still opaque. Natural yarn dyed threads have a varied, unbleached appearance.
Wear right after hanging dry for a beachy, casual vibe, or iron on cotton setting for a crisp look.
A loose, relaxed blouse with thoughtful tailored details that keep it from looking too "boxy". Like a shirttail-shaped hem. Wide back yoke with gathered center back detail. Shorter in length, but still covers the waistband. Bust darts.
Machine wash cold, smooth out by hand while damp and hang to air dry. 80% Cotton, 20% Linen Sewn in the USA of imported fabric.
I love the shape if the top, the swiss dots are just enough to make it pop.

These are last ones made from this fabric, ready to ship.
Fans of swiss dot will find this fabric exceptional. This swiss dot is—drumroll please—a LINEN/COTTON blend.
Unbleached white and blue threads have a heathery, variegated appearance, with tufts of tactile, white dots. Expect it to have relaxed, casual characteristics like linen. Subtle slubs and natural variations are characteristic of the textile. A cotton-linen blend, the fabric is lightweight but not sheer.
Around here we like to take it out of the washing machine (delicate cycle, cold water), smooth it by hand and hang it on a hanger to dry for a casual, textured surface. But of course you can iron it on cotton setting if you want the results of that extra step.
