“I have been so encouraged by the ways people are really showing up for each other,” said 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.” Reese said.
The clothing line was founded in 2015, as an ode to her southern heritage. Growing up, she was surrounded by women who taught her how to carry herself like a lady. The brand recaptures that with a-line, midi-length dresses, dainty totes and handbags.
You can add a southern twist to your closet by shopping from the selection of dresses the label has to offer:
Draper James Honeycomb Floral Ponte Dress
Draper James Persley Ponte Dress $51
Educators can fill out a form on Google with basic information by 10:59 p.m., Sunday, April 5, to win a Draper James dress, which will be given out through a random lottery. Winners will be notified on April 7. Those who don’t win will receive promo codes for a 25% discount. The brand will also offer a 25% discount on May 5, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day.
