Texture rather than print again, this time as a floral finish worked into a soft lightweight cloth, with a full lining behind it so nothing shows through. The bodice is smocked and stretches, the neckline is a V, and the sleeves finish in elastic ruffle cuffs. Below the high waist the skirt opens into a flowy A-line with two working side pockets. Chocolate brown and burnt orange are the two shades on offer.

The short version

Start here

Full lining under a light cloth

The shell is deliberately thin, so the lining is doing all the coverage work. That pairing is what lets the dress stay light without going sheer under strong daylight or a camera flash.

Stretch bodice, fixed skirt

The smocking is confined to the bodice: it grips the ribcage and releases at the high waist, where the skirt takes over and falls free. Two different behaviours in one dress, split at the waistline.

Ruffle cuffs with elastic inside

Each sleeve ends in a ruffle, but there is elastic behind it, so the frill sits where it is put. It is the one decorative element on an otherwise plain brown or orange dress.
