INSPIRATION:
Off the shoulder corset featuring draped fabric & double tied straps with fluted edging. The skirt is a simple circular skirt cut to the floor though it could be made with a small train. The emphasis on this design is on simple, natural, lines - almost tatty like a pretty peasant dress, Cinderella's 'Cinders' dress or fairytale wood sprite. To emphasise the 'tatty' look the corset fabric features frayed edges.
NOTE: This dress can still be ordered but because some of the fabrics & trims are no longer available alternatives would need to be sourced.
