Heirloom Flutter Sleeve Dress in Pure Couture

There are no words for how precious this dress is!  Originally, the Pure Couture Collection was meant to be an all white line.  After sewing up the heirloom flutter sleeve dress I decided that I *had* to also offer it in some sweet pastel colors for Spring and Easter.  

This boutique dress has become an instant favorite with my fans and customers!  It features full flutter sleeves, a detailed square bodice, a extra twirly skirt, and large sash that ties into a bow in the back.  It is available in 6 colors (scroll to the bottom to see additional colors).





This dress can be made in white, as well as the following solid colors:
