short dress teens ASHLEYlauren 8405 Girls Red / 6 tie closures and a smocked waist that brings definition to silhouette 2Bunnies Girls' 8Y-14Y Tween Teen

I took more of a rock and roll take on this look (well at least for me) to add a baker boy hat, printed bag, combat boots & Moto jacket

I only roughly marked the boning channels and didnt even measure the length of each steel boning that is clearly there in the instructions

Claire Kilroys Soldier Sailor is the best book Ive read so far this year

The gathered waist enhances the natural shape while the full skirt drapes beautifully for effortless movement

The goal is balance rather than competition
