We have also wiped her up in velvet and added a frill for a completely different look! This dress spans most body shapes and generations… Timeless.
We have included an elbow-length frill and hem frill if you note on the velvet one we have embellished using a pleated ribbon trim. The sleeve head is a small puff.
Where will the inspiration she creates take you? Will you amp up her 1970s style with 70s print fabrics, make her hard-wearing in denim or cool and effortless in linen or simple cotton? If the mood takes, take her dancing in velvet or to a gallery opening in brocade.
And why not make her floor-length?
