"Woman is exposed to many perils nowadays because so many who call themselves men are not worthy of that exalted title and it is her duty to learn how to defend herself."
― Edith Garrud, the suffragette jujitsu teacher
Edith is a drop waist, sleeveless pinafore style smock dress with a full gathered skirt, and a neat round neckline. It features free-hand applique embroidery of suffragette Edith Garrud on the center front and thread flowers on the skirt. Curtain tape detail at the side seams mean the skirt can be pulled up to create a fuller silhouette.
