This dress features a unfinished quilt TOP that was hand-pieced (it does not have batting or backing) in a traditional Shoofly pattern, and features a stunning variety of feedsack floral fabrics. It is 100% cotton and has been left unlined to keep it breezy and warmer weather appropriate. This style dress has a curved bodice that hits at mid-bust with a gathered skirt, complete with inseam side pockets, because - always!
As this is made from a vintage/antique quilt top that has lived a full life before becoming a piece of wearable art, it is possible it show it's age in the form of some discolorations and wear to some of the fabrics. These areas are viewed not as defects, but merely giving it character and a nod to it's past life. Please review the photos as returns are not accepted.

Armpit to armpit: 22” flat across (double for circumference) - As the gathered skirt portion starts above the fullest area of the bust, this style can accommodate a wide range of sizes comfortably.
