I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce my stunning new light size 14 summer dress, carefully crafted with a vibrant pattern that combines an array of fabrics and colours to create a truly eye-catching effect.

This masterpiece was inspired by the beauty of diverse textures and hues, and proudly features Australian fabric and classic gingham. The dress boasts a relaxed a-line fit that's both flattering and effortless, complete with delightful Australiana features, a sleeveless design paired with a charming flutter sleeve, and generously sized fully lined pockets for the perfect finishing touch.

The hemline falls gracefully to just below the knee, creating a modest yet stylish silhouette.

One of the dress's greatest strengths is its versatility - it's perfect for wearing all year round, whether you choose to layer it with a tee and leggings for cooler months or enjoy it on its own during warmer days.

While this style is designed to be forgiving, the ideal measurements are: bust 92-97cm, waist 71-76cm, and hips 97-102cm.

This exquisite piece can be yours for $105, and I also offer free delivery within Australia.

Orders are warmly welcome in my Etsy shop, Jansloveofhandmade.etsy.com.
