This fit and flare mini dress features a smocked bodice, open back, side pockets

It retains heat, keeping you warm in colder temperatures

While it wasnt a serpentine dresser, it was the perfect size, and I could already see its potential

And yes, usually I would wear a coat with this look but I didnt want to hide this great new sweater dress trust me though what I am actually wearing today is a very bundled look as I head off to Paris this evening, eek, so exciting

Nobodys judging you

It's a Renaissance dress, not a medieval one, and despite the trimming (which is very pretty), it's also suitable for an early 19th-century style, especially without the tight sleeves, as I did for my wedding in August (sew under the bouffant - under the trimming - close the trimming with a button, for example)
