rosa lea dress

This little shift dress, with or without cap sleeves, is quick to sew and easy to wear! Our rosa lea features a flattering A-line silhouette and charming back button closure, making it the perfect dress for parties or play-days. We’ve included multiple size templates of both the giant flower and tiny blossom for lots of fun applique options! View B (sleeveless dress) can also be worn as a jumper  We love layering this shift dress over our tessa bloomers (M072) for a fun petticoat look!
