“The Dahlia Dress silhouette is based on the first dress Christy ever designed, The Dawn Dress. Sometimes you just need a more dramatic sleeve moment, and the Dahlia's puff sleeve is exactly that. The Dahlia features a snap closure on the bodice and a comfortable drawstring waist.” This dress is cotton and machine washable. Pregnancy and postpartum friendly. I’ve included a photo where I’m wearing it literally days before baby arrived. No flaws evident that I could find. If you have any questions, or would like photos of different details on the dress, please let me know! pit to pit measure - 18 inches length (shoulder to hem) - a bit longer than 48 inches
