A periwinkle-printed dress in signature April Cornell style, adorned with crochet insets at the neckline, bodice, and hem, finished with pintuck pleats and button on ties for a custom, graceful silhouette.
100% Rayon - Lining 100% Cotton
Button tie back waist
Print comes in coordinating girls styles
Genevieve is 5'9" and wearing a size small dress measuring 50"
This dress is beautifully made, in a very pretty purple print on a pale periwinkle background. The stitching and details are lovely. Unfortunately the vertical pintucks end just below my belly and emphasize it unflatteringly; it would work better on a slimmer or taller person. And since every dress I've gotten from April Cornell has had pockets, I neglected to check carefully this time and was disappointed to find it has none. I can't go anywhere without pockets to hold a handkerchief and my wallet or phone. I had to exchange the dress for another one.

I'm so glad this dress didn't dissappear before I could order one. This style/pattern is my number 1 favorite out of all of April's dresses. I have a white one from last summer. They are SO beautiful on! The pleats and the inset lace make this dress stunning. It is rayon and I'm really not a fan of rayon, but this dress is too gorgeous to allow my high cotton demand to cause me to miss out. The square neckline is so flattering. Cornwall and Pride & Prejudice dresses are my two favorite dressy dresses this spring. It is long on me, I'm 5'2", I expect it. I can take pin tucks if I want it shorter. Yes, petites would be nice, but I know that's a whole new setup and big expense to make everything short. ;D
