There need be no explanation as to why this dress made it into Ava's Fashions. But of course I'll give you one. The crispest of white cotton. The square neckline. The scalloped hem with the large eyelet cutouts. The puffy short sleeves. The pale blue silk flowers at the empire waistband. And to top it off, the satin ribbons hanging down the front. Be still my heart. Paired with naked baby feet, this dress could be the stuff of fairytale dreams...running through a field of tall grasses with dandelion puffs floating in the air...unicorns grazing by the stream....dryads dancing around a maypole...a faun playing a woodpipe in the distance....oh, sorry. Was having a Labyrinth/Legend moment.
(It's still hanging in Ava's closet, it's one that I can't bear to part with or even pack away....)
Oh yes, this is the perfect dress for a budding southern belle. Nothing says southern quite like white cotton, puffed sleeves, eyelet and satin ribbons.
