I received so many complements, 10/10 recommend
A silk cotton voile hand-blocked mini dress, detailed with airy puff sleeves, a cinched tassel-tied waist, and a softly tiered skirt - artisanal craftsmanship in a light, romantic silhouette
Necklines were high, while sleeves of bodices initially peaked at the shoulders, but increased in size in the middle of the decade to a puffed leg-of-mutton style.The sleeves grew to a volume rivaling the 1830s and even sometimes required a cushion to retain their fullness
The soft crossover V-neckline helps elongate the neckline while creating balanced bust definition
Pleats and paperbag silhouettes often add more volume to the hips and should be avoided
The textured look adds visual excitement and makes it easy to partner this piece with any outfit or other fashion accessory
