Claire and Eliza - Sunday's Belle Style File






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.

Eliza is a simple classic, with delicate, elegant features.


It is lovely for the cooler weather, with high necklines and buttons or snaps to close the back.


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.
