Radieuse
A backless dress which twirls!
A little girl's wardrobe can never have enough dresses!
This one is the ideal dress for when it is hot.
It is very comfortable and it twirls!
I thought of this pattern for using fabric with large motifs.
Little pleats on the front steady the design.
Taking photos is never easy when Hannah wears a dress 'that twirls'.
Even at nearly 10 years old she just cannot resist ;-)
The straps become a bow at the back by threading through a casing.
A pretty bow decorates the back.
The back is scooped out.
A lightly gathered frill on a curved panel gives fullness to the dress hem.
