Description
Description
The Emporia Valentina Dress is a beautifully fitted style made for summer celebrations, special occasions and evenings out. Elegant and feminine, it has a panelled bodice shaped with princess seams and a sweeping six-panel skirt that skims beautifully over the body.
Make Valentina with or without the statement frill, which sweeps from the front bodice over the shoulders and upper arms to frame the V-neckline. Hidden side pockets add a practical touch, while the ruffled hem gives the skirt lovely movement. A tie fastening at the back and concealed side zip complete the look.
Choose a lightweight fabric with plenty of drape for a soft, floaty finish, or give Valentina a more dressed-up feel in satin or a lightweight jacquard. It's a lovely pattern for weddings and parties, but works just as beautifully in a breezy cotton or linen blend for summer days.
