Hand Painted Dress White and Purple white braids

This is a unique dress in size small and medium. Fits comfrotably and flows around you like a cloud.It is the perfect spring -summer dress. Is one of a kind and my original design. The under skirt, at front, is ivory and has been hand painted by me with blue flowers and leaves.The bustier fits perfectly for a busty lady or a teen.It has bra straps that make the dress easy to fit any figure adapting them to your body shape. There is a beatiful braid right under the breast line. The skirt has 2 layers and the top one is purple. The dress has also 2 pieces of fabric in both tones ( ivory and lilac) working as a belt that can be tied in the back or leave loose.The top is half lilac, half white. 100 % poliester.I use fabric paint.The paint doesn't fade and the colors stay shiny always. Regular wash or hand wash is recommended. No dry clean, no bleach,no fabric softener,please. Doesn't need iron at all.Hope you love it!!When ordering please specify size in notes to seller.E-mail me for any questions at norakaren2002@yahoo.com
