Aurora Sage Green Floral Tulle Dress

A whole meadow, stitched by hand onto air. The Aurora dress is sheer sage green tulle scattered with tiny embroidered wildflowers in pink, blue, buttercup and lilac, with the odd butterfly resting among them. Every sprig is worked in real thread, so the colour sits slightly proud of the net and catches the light as she moves.

Soft flutter sleeves fall from a square neckline gathered into a fine ruched band, and the skirt drops from there in one full sweep to just above the knee over a smooth sage lining. There is no stiff bodice and no scratchy net, which is the reason she will actually keep it on.

Where to wear

• Spring and summer weddings, as a flower girl or a guest
• Birthday parties and garden gatherings
• Christenings and naming days
• Easter Sunday
• Family photographs, where sage sits beautifully against cream and greenery

Fit: True to age, relaxed A line shape. If she is between sizes, size up for room to grow.
