About This Dress
This combination of ruffles and gathers creates an ensemble with a lively shape that springs away from the body. Note the subtle differences in shape between the gathered skirt and the circular ruffles on the sleeves and neckline of the blouse. The gathers spring away from the body and have the same volume throughout the skirt, the circular ruffles gradually increase in volume; they are flat where they are joined to the blouse.
