Bridgerton Has Launched Its First Fashion Collection, So We Can All Dress Like Daphne

Bridgerton and the Nap Dress, two very different but very vital lifelines that got us through this year's lockdown. So it somehow makes perfect sense that they've come together with a, you guessed it, collaboration of Bridgeton-inspired Nap Dresses. (If you've spent the last two sentences thinking, 'What on earth is a Nap Dress?!', it's a dress that, thanks to its smocked top and free-flowing bottom, is comfortable enough to wear while napping.)

The collab is a three-way production from Hill House – the brand who created and owns the trademark of the Nap Dress – Shondaland, Shona Rhimes's production company who brought us Bridgerton and Phenomenal, a female-driven media brand and creative agency centred around underrepresented communities. It's a collection of three dresses, each of which has a pastel colour palette and an empire-line silhouette that fans of Regencycore, the social media movement started by Bridgerton, will be all too familiar with.

But the best thing about them has to be the prints, two of which were custom-made by Diane Hill, an artist living in London, and look like something you'd find hanging in the wardrobe of Daphne Bridgerton. The dresses sold out in approximately how long it took you to binge-watch the first season, but the jewelled hair slide (very Penelope Featherington) is still available to buy.

But not to worry, if your dearest wish is to float around the house for the rest of the summer, pretending you're about to bump into Regé-Jean Page, Hill House has plenty more Nap Dresses. Keep scrolling to shop our favourites.
