Thank you so much for checking out this beautiful dress! I am really thrilled with how fabrics' colors and prints combined. The fully lined bodice is made with a 'zero' wale corduroy... it's pretty much like a soft, luxurious velveteen. There is a large patch pocket on the right side... it is lined and also reinforced so there are no worries about it staying put :) The dark brown fabric you see is a sturdy medium wale corduroy which gives the dress an overall strength while still remaining light and flowing, perfect for the warmer months.
The straps are super long and of course allow for lots of adjustable flexibility to make sure the dress fits nicely. The bodice is a little larger, great for anyone with a larger bust... it all depends on how much back you like to show! The hem's spin is super big, so the a-lined will fit your hips with lots of freedom and it's awesome for spinning, dancing, or just walking! The calicos are pictured below in detail. Note that the fabric that almost looks like it's a solid white is flecked with a metallic gold and has a dusty background.

All of the fabric used is 100% cotton and it was pre-washed to test the integrity and strength of the material. All the seams were at least double-stitched to ensure longevity and all the fabric was over-edged to prevent fraying. The open-back allows the perfect fit for anyone with a small to medium sized bust and the adjustable straps are durable and comfortable. There is a casing with an elastic cinch along the lower back which will fit you snugly and comfortably. The length of the dress can be altered for your height no problem! The whole look of the dress would stay just as it is because the bottom-most patches are large enough to be trimmed or added to :) The dress is *brand-new* and has never been worn except for in the photos. Lots of care and time is put into this sweet dress, just like with all that I create... no corners were cut and quality and long-lasting wear was kept in mind while I was sewing away on this beauty!
Enjoy!
