Introducing our "Sweater Weather" vintage inspired dress – a timeless piece perfect for capturing those precious moments during cozy fall or winter photography sessions.
Our "Sweater Weather" dress combines vintage elegance with modern comfort. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it features a classic silhouette reminiscent of a beautiful autumn day. The skirting is fully lined for a soft, itch-free feel against the skin. This design also includes a wider horsehair braid trim for added volume.
All skirts come with a small layer of crinoline petticoat built in. If you prefer no crinoline or lining, please note this at checkout; this customization will not change the price.
This dress is available in a variety of colors, and optional beading can be added. Please note: beading designs may vary.
This beautiful dress is available in a wide array of color options. Please note: Our fabrics can vary depending upon availability. Should the fabric you request become unavailable - we will email you to discuss fabric replacement option or other options available at the time of your order.
