Claire is the ultimate mid season special occasion dress.
The short or elbow length sleeves have a gorgeous puff, but still a slimline fit. They feature gorgeous ruching from the centre to the hem, which gives a special addition to this sweet style.
Claire has a feature back with crossover, cutout panels. There is a centre back waistline elastic panel for a great fit, which is topped with long ties to form a perfect bow.
The skirt is either one, two or three tiers - all full for a great twirl, with extra tiers adding extra volume and twirl. It is designed to sit at knee length for a modest vintage hem.
Claire is able to be sized up due to its higher necklines.

The elbow or full length sleeves are finished with a pretty hem ruffle, and the simple full skirt is designed to sit at knee length.
