Sage Green Shirred Bodice Balloon Sleeve Midi Dress
A midi dress with a bodice shirred across the front, worn on or off the shoulder, balloon sleeves gathered into ruffled cuffs, a full gathered skirt to mid-calf and a sash that ties at the waist.
Shirring is worked row by row, so the quantity stays low.
An engagement party, outdoors on grass
Parties on a lawn are all standing and no mirrors, and the wind decides a good deal about how you look by the end of them. A shirred bodice holds its own position and balloon sleeves are supposed to move, so what the breeze does to this dress is part of the design rather than a problem with it.
Worn off the shoulder the neckline opens the whole line of the collarbone; pulled up, it closes again, and you decide which on the day. The sash ties where you want the waist to be and the full skirt gives the rest of the dress somewhere to go. Across a lawn people read colour and movement. Up close they read the ruffled cuffs and the shirring, and work out that a decision was made.
On a day that belongs to somebody else, looking considered is the courtesy.
Shirring, balloon sleeves, a sash
The bodice is shirred across the front, which is what lets it be worn on or off the shoulder with nothing fastening. The sleeves are cut as balloons and gathered into ruffled cuffs, and the skirt is full and gathered, falling to mid-calf. A sash ties at the waist.
The shirring is the texture a hand finds first, ribbed and elastic under the fingers where the rest of the dress is smooth. The cuffs are ruffled rather than plain, so the sleeve ends in something. It is made in premium materials, with a sophisticated V neckline and colours chosen with character, for summer.

Shirred bodices come in small runs
Shirring a bodice across the front is slow work that cannot be hurried, so the dress arrives in small runs split across five colours. The sage and the white are the first to clear in summer, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Put it in the bag while your colour is there. Unworn, it goes back or exchanges within fourteen calendar days of delivery.
