| Reese Witherspoon's Draper James label giving free dresses to teachers - New York Post Posted: 02 Apr 2020 07:37 AM PDT  Give Reese Witherspoon an A+. The star is donating 250 dresses from her Draper James fashion label to teachers across the United States, as a gesture of thanks for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic. "I have been so encouraged by the ways people are really showing up for each other," says the actress, producer and entrepreneur. "During quarantine, teachers are broadcasting lessons from their own homes and figuring out new remote-learning technology and platforms on the fly, all while continuing to educate and connect with our kids. Advocating for the children is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now." Witherspoon, 44, launched her Southern-inspired label in 2015, peppering it with smile-inducing accessories ("Totes Y'all" bags and "Hello Sugar" mugs) as well as charming eyelet dresses and plaid swing coats. She is currently starring in Hulu's "Little Fires Everywhere" (which she also produced) and hosting "Shine On At Home," a series of conversations with experts on coping with life the coronavirus pandemic. Teachers can enter to win a Draper James dress via Google Form through April 5, with winners announced April 7. Eligible teachers who enter will also receive promo codes for 25 percent discounts. Meanwhile, the brand will also offer educators a 25 percent discount on May 5 in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day. Shop the giveaway looks below for a little southern comfort.  |
| & Daughter debuts the perfect dress collection - harpersbazaar.com Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:45 AM PDT  What makes a perfect dress? It's a subject that & Daughter founder Buffy Reid pored over when she decided to go beyond her signature knitwear to create her debut range of dresses. Talking about nice dresses might seem ill-advised and frivolous during a pandemic, but – if, if, we do decide to get out of our loungewear and into something that we might once have worn outside - then Reid's new dress collection would be a good place to start. Comfortable, flattering and timeless, there is a relaxed ease to the pieces that suit not only our newfound world of self-isolation, but will also feel fresh and exciting to wear in front of others when lockdown finally ends. "Base fabrication is so important, and sometimes in the past the womenswear industry hasn't concentrated on that," says Reid. "It has to stand the wear. You don't want something that, after an hour, makes you really hot because it's made of synthetics, or it's easily creased and once you've washed it, it always looks rubbish. Cut is so important too, it has to be flattering and define your shape in certain ways. It also has to be comfortable. The moment you find that balance is when you find something really beautiful." Reid launched & Daughter in 2013, after working as a publicist at Gap for many years. Turning to design wasn't a complete plot twist – her fashion career had started with a masters in fashion at Central Saint Martins and her father had worked in knitwear for most of his life, serving as a sales director wholesaling Donegal tweeds and Scottish cashmere to stores such as Browns. Eventually, the two joined forces to set up & Daughter, specialising in knitwear. You won't find directional, trend-led items at & Daughter, but rather forever pieces that you will always want in your wardrobe – an Aran knit or an oversized cashmere jumper. The label's best-seller is the purposely loose Fintra roll-neck with exaggerated longer sleeves and dropped shoulders, which has been restocked four times since September. "When people find us, they become quite committed," says Reid. "They test the product, they wear it all the time, then they'll come back and say, 'I've been wearing this constantly for the past two months.' That for us defined who we were – useful things, beautifully made. The idea is that you wear this a lot, that it'll work in your lifestyle, in your existing wardrobe and it'll work just as well this year as it will next year." In the same way she spotted a gap in high-quality, classic knitwear that didn't come with eyewateringly high price tags, she recognised the same issue with dresses. "My friends and I were endlessly looking for that dress to invest in, but a £300 investment rather than an £800 investment," she said. "But, I still wanted quality in terms of material and fabric. It needed to look as good at the end of the day as it did the start. We began designing everyday dresses that have a special quality. They're made with women in mind – they have pockets for example." Fabrics are made using organic cottons, as well as surplus materials from previous collections, a testament to the company's long-standing focus on sustainable and creating pieces made to last. Volume is also key to & Daughter dresses, from sleeveless black midi dresses to white puff sleeve styles. "There had to be a joy in wear," says Reid. "Sometimes as women we feel quite constricted by clothes. Trousers sometimes, at certain points in your life, feel uncomfortable. There is a joy in a dress that has volume and a heaviness to the fabrication because it's very freeing. "We want to deliver a need," she concludes. "This isn't just about mindless consumerism."

Paper checks will be mailed out to Americans by $10,000 increments per week starting on that date, according to the internal document. For example, checks for those under the $20,000 or less bracket will be mailed a week later on May 1, followed by Americans earning $30,000 or less on May 8, and so on" Knowing my luck, they'll find a cure before I get my check.  |
