Appalonia Dress
Blending the details from a 1940s peignoir and a 1970s day dress, the Appalonia is a midi length dress that features a v-neckline bedecked with a cascading ruffle, diamond waist, and multi gored skirt. Rendered in our custom 18th century reproduction print, our favorite detail are the split ruffle sleeves with functional drawstring silken ribbon ties in a deep currant red. Self ties at the sides of waist and hidden side zipper complete this garment.

pros: flattering, lovely details, adjustable tie waist, washes well and is breathable
cons: dangling ties are a bit annoying. Since I'm tall and long in the waist, the stitching on the bottom of the bust is too high and is not at the bottom of my actual bust. Also, the armpits are cut really high and need to be at least an inch bigger to fit me comfortably. I ordered the size according to my measurements, but some parts of the dress have a "petite" fit.
I love cotton dresses and when I saw this dress, I thought it was so lovely. It's actually a little pinkish in person (barely pink, almost white), and I actually really liked that. The collar is very unique and flowy, and I love how it covers the shoulders. It makes me feel floaty, like a butterfly!
The cut of the dress is flattering, the ties allow you to adjust the waist. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.
I'm excited for what's to come with Atélette :) I'd love to see more dresses and tops in soft, but vivid colors and sweet, retro patterns.
Thank you so much for review! I am working on a few very lovely antique inspired tops for a future release and a few more new dresses too!
