Ruffles and trailing side ribbons as a specific preference

Ruffles and trailing side ribbons make this closer front view particularly specific. The upper side edges sit below the shoulders; a deep central opening is accompanied by crossed cords. More ruffles occupy the sides at the hips. Longer narrow strips hang down at the sides, while vertical patterned areas organise the upper body. The complete lower finish is outside the photograph, so do not automatically add a particular length or back shape to this preference.

If the ruffles attract you, name their location first. Do you want decoration at the upper edge, beside the hips or in both places? Ask whether all the desired sections are currently present on a real offer and request unobstructed close views. Visible cords cannot establish the adjustment range of a different garment.

Add a complete front and matching side and rear photographs. These explain how the striking closer front connects with the whole dress. Establish the age description separately: ruffle placement expresses design rather than a date. If alterations would be needed, discuss that exact placement with the person responsible for the proposed work.
