One of a kind.

This dress encapsulates the feeling of turning 6 years old & wearing sparkling acrylic heels & a plastic tiara. Your mum has made a cake and it’s shaped like a flower. Your presents include stick on earrings & a pair of glitter pink flare jeans. Life is good.

Made from secondhand material & buttons.

Drop waist. Fitted across bust & waist. Puff sleeves with elastic cuffs. Plunging peter pan collar with v neck back. Seven mismatched button closures at back. Very full gathered skirt with thick hem.

While delightful to wear, buyer please note that this piece does sit wide on the shoulders and may slide off your shoulders here & there if you are dancing the night away (or doing groceries!). Also know there is about 2 inches total of seam allowance in the side seams, so if you need a little wiggle room - there is some!!
