WAYS TO WEAR:
Wear the dress alone with your favourite shoes for outfit number 1.
For all year round wear style the dress with a high-neck top underneath and ankle boots to keep you warm in the colder months.
It would make for a perfect summer dress or vintage-inspired dress to wear to a wedding. Dress up with black clutch bag & heels or go for a relaxed feel with summer basket, sunglasses & sandals. When the temperature drops simply add tights, ankle boots and some cashmere.

Verified owner Kelly Mc (verified owner) –
I chose a thick, soft wool for this dress with a relaxed fit and deep hemline for the custom length skirt. It fits me perfectly but skims my body just so that I can slip a warm top underneath in the winter. The finishings are excellent (I chose unlined so that it wouldn’t be too bulky) and the deep hem frill looks just as I’d hoped. I can wear this dress with heels or chunky shoes. Can’t wait for winter!
Verified owner Divya Desa (verified owner) –
For my Emperor’s A-line mini, I chose a really cute pink 80s/90s ‘Saved by the Bell’ type of fabric – and the garment style I chose was inspired by another customer (hi, Isla!). It turned into the perfect 90s/Barbie dress – classic necline, sleeveless with armhole frills, side seam pockets, and a fine cotton lining. Would absolutely love to recreate this garment style again in a different fabric. 🙂
