The Piper Dress is the epitome of classic vintage style.
Often made with vintage brushed cotton or linen, it features either a plain or simple pintuck hem.
It has the sweetest bodice ruffle feature, with a short bodice and full, above the knee skirt giving it a gorgeous vintage vibes.
With either long, slightly puffed sleeves or rounded short sleeves finished with either a band or soft shirring, it is an ideal mid season style and is perfect for layering in cool weather.
Piper closes with either snaps buttons at the back, and often has a simple waistline trim.

Mabel is a timeless beauty - a front button, drop waist dress with a lovely fit. It has gorgeous long sleeves for cooler weather, and is sometimes made with flutters, an optional collar and pintucks.
It is lovely for cool weather as well as sun protection, with high necklines and buttons or snaps to close the front. The wrists have set back elastic for a cute ruffle effect.
This dress has a standard size fit, with the closures leaving not much extra room so consider sizing up for longevity. The knee length skirt gives a modest but cute twirl.
