DRESS: BABY DRESS, PALE YELLOW, COLLARED WITH SMOCKING AND EMBROIDERED RABBITS ON CHEST

Subcollections
Overview

Pale yellow baby dress with rounded colour and cap sleeves. The front is open with four small shiny yellow buttons on the left side. There is four rows of smocking across both sides of the chest, which creates gathering in the skirt. There is an embroidered rabbit outline on each front yoke - above the smocking. The rabbits are mirrored, facing one another. The rabbits have blue bodies, white tails, black eyes and nose plus red mouth and ear detailing. There is some green grass with a yellow flower below them. The back skirt has a central inverted pleat which joins at the back yoke. The white tag says 'Higrade' in green with 'ALL COTTON' below in red.
