From Seamwork:

Leighanne is a dreamy empire-waist dress with a gathered skirt. Clustered darts and princess seams give the lined bodice a tailored appearance, and the skirt is finished with a faced hem and side slits. The double straps on the front add a flirty detail, and the adjustable strap on the back ensures a comfortable fit. This dress closes with an invisible zipper and the skirt has side seam pockets.

Recommended Fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics such as linen, chambray, batiste, lawn, rayon challis, cupro, and Tencel.

Member Bonus: The Leighanne member bonus variation eliminates the side slit and adds a ruffle to the hem, creating a maxi-length dress. 

Sizes: 00-30
