Oppedette Dress

My new favorite dress!

What a sweet dress! I love it so much. It has the perfect amount of elegance mixed with girly-ness, and I love the detail of the bows on the sleeves. The length is perfect, and the blue gingham is just the right shade and goes with almost everything. I was between sizes, and decided to go with the smaller size. It fits perfectly, and has a very comfortable, flattering fit. The dress itself is so well-made and has a human touch to it that adds another layer of beauty and uniqueness; almost like it was specially made, just for me! I feel so chic and feminine in it, plus, I adore that it has pockets. This was my first purchase from Atelette, and it definitely won't be my last :))

Opedette

Since receiving my Opedette dress, she's one I've been reaching for repeatedly! As you can see from the picture, she isn't so precious that you're afraid to wear her (even while sketching/painting), but she instantly makes me feel put together. The waist ties attach at the sides, not in the back/front. For me, this means the seam where the skirt meets the bodice sits below the belt at times. If I want it to match up I have to give a tug now and then. I am short waisted, and between sizes, so this might not be an issue for longer waisted girlies! It does allow choice for how fitted or flounced you want the waist. For reference, I am a 33 bust and sized up to a 34 for a looser fit in the bodice. I think I could have comfortably sized down, but am happy anyway!
