White Sundress with Yellow Ruffles

A sleeveless summer dress in ivory with a deep band of densely gathered marigold ruffles across the bodice. The ruffles are worked in close rows so the colour reads as texture rather than as a flat block, which is what stops a strong yellow from overwhelming a small frame.

The straps cross at the back, which keeps the shoulders in place on a child who is running rather than standing still, and the skirt is cut full and gathered so it falls cleanly and holds its shape without a stiff underskirt. The ground fabric carries a soft sheen that photographs with depth instead of glare, which matters in bright summer daylight where a flatter synthetic tends to blow out.

Suited to summer weddings, garden parties, birthdays, and portraits, and plain enough through the skirt to layer under a cardigan when an evening turns cool.

Made in the United States from imported materials.
