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.
