The Adorabella dress is a
princess line dress with round neck detail. It is designed to
be made out of crushed velvet fabric, although other fabrics
can be used (non-stretch fabrics may require the use of a
zipper or other back closure).
The dress features,
contrasting neck and sleeve bands, as well as contrasting
under sleeves and a belt. (Although the under sleeve and belt
can be left off is desired.)
As the dress has been
designed to be made from a fabric with stretch, there are
lacing loops that run down the back, to enable the dress to be
tightened for a closer fit, if needed.
The dress also features a
25cm train on the back, which is a lovely addition.
The Medieval style sleeves
have a 20 inch drop, and are designed to cover the back of the
hand and the under sleeves.
