NEW! Alice in Wonderland Dress
This dress is styled after a favorite childhood classic. The dress has full sleeves with narrow cuffs, a small collar and back snap closing.

Pinafore has flared shoulder caps and separate front and back panels, all connected by the belt. A little pocket is on the front of the pinafore. Dress is pretty even without the pinafore.
