This simply perfect dress is delightful for any occasion. Dolly is a bodice dress buttoning up the front with details on the bodice that steals the show. The tucks are sewn in such a way they create a scallop effect on the bodice. This beautiful dress works well for girls of all ages. Fully lined, this dress is ideal for a flowing lawn fabric.
