Rose Natural Form Era Dress
Hello everyone! I hope that the first few days of February are treating you well! For today's post, I've decided to share the truly wonderful Rose Natural Form Era Dress! She is so incredibly beautiful and is made of the most wonderfully soft cotton. The print is a wild rose. I thought they were apple blossoms, but upon closer inspection, you can tell by the thorns and leaves that they are indeed wild roses! The dress is made in the polonaise style. Polonaise: a woman's dress with a tight bodice and a skirt open from the waist downward looped up to show a decorative underskirt. The "panniers" are very similar to the style worn in the late 1700s. It is such a lovely style and not at all like a typical skirt and bodice. I love how the sides of the polonaise bodice drape over the skirt! The pleats on either side of the front opening are so lovely and add a really fun look to the bodice. The shell button are so interesting in that they are not flat like others,
