The Full Story
Some dresses are for occasions. This one is for Tuesdays. The Apple Blossom Sundress is the kind of thing you reach for again and again — pretty without being precious, flattering without being fussy, and made entirely of cotton so it actually breathes on a warm Edmonton afternoon.
April Cornell has been designing garden-inspired cotton clothing since 1972 — and the Apple Blossom Sundress is the brand at its most essential. The print is soft and botanical, the palette a warm blush pink that works across skin tones and seasons. It's the kind of dress that photographs beautifully at a summer wedding and looks equally right at the farmers market the next morning.
Pink · 100% Cotton · Machine Washable
The 100% cotton construction is what makes it truly wearable — especially through warmer months and for women who run warm. It doesn't cling, it doesn't trap heat, and it softens beautifully with every wash. The button-tie back waist is a thoughtful touch that gives you a custom fit without being complicated: tie it snug for a defined silhouette, looser for a relaxed, flowy feel. The mother of pearl buttons on the back bodice are small but significant — the kind of detail that makes the back of the dress as pretty as the front.
How does the tie waist work? There are button tabs at the back waist that thread through and tie into a bow — adjustable to your own preference. Tie it snugly for a defined, nipped-in waist. Leave it looser for a relaxed, flowy silhouette. Either way, the front pleats keep the shape looking intentional rather than shapeless.
How does it fit through the body? The dress has a relaxed, easy fit through the chest and hips — it's not structured or fitted beyond the waist. The button-tie back is where you dial in your silhouette. It fits true to size; if you're between sizes and prefer more definition at the waist, size down.
How do I care for it? Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water, then hang to dry. April Cornell cotton is made to wash well and last — the print stays vibrant and the fabric softens beautifully over time. Skip the dryer to keep the shape and avoid any shrinkage.

April Cornell size guide
Romantic prints, heirloom details, and the kind of breezy cotton nightgowns you'll reach for all summer long (and well into winter, if we're honest). April Cornell generally fits true to size, so start with the size you usually wear.
Good to know: the measurements below are taken from the garment itself, not the body, so they include a little breathing room. Sizing can vary slightly from style to style.
Petite? Long nightgowns usually measure 49–53" (124–135 cm) from shoulder to hem. If you're under 5'1", they may be longer than you'd like, so a shorter style could be your happy place.
