The Falling Petals Dress

Soft white blossoms and delicate branches drift across a dreamy periwinkle cotton slub, and the effect is absolutely stunning. The bodice is beautifully shaped with fine pleats at the chest and waist that create structure without stiffness, and a ruffle at the neckline keeps things soft. Elbow-length puff sleeves with elastic cuffs, mother of pearl buttons down the back, and a button-tie waist let you adjust the fit so the dress flatters you, not the other way around. The skirt falls in graceful, layered panels that move like something out of a painting. Side seam pockets, of course. The heavyweight cotton slub gives the whole dress a wonderful substance that feels as good as it looks.
