To contrast against the white and stand out from the bride’s dress, these bridesmaid dresses have deep wine coloured heart petals scattered all over the skirting and a lovely corsage attached to the tiny sash waist.

The fitted bodice of the dress has a cross-over effect before the full skirt, and fastens down the back.

This exquisite white cotton dress from Max & Lola is really special, and wouldn’t look out of place as a communion or bridesmaid dress.  Made from 100% white cotton, it has the most gorgeous embroidery running throughout the material that can only really be appreciated by closer inspection.

The simple shape of this dress, with its boat neck shape, smart short sleeves and gentle pleats under the chest, is very elegant and 1950s styled.  Team it with pretty summer sandals with or without a contrasting shade cardigan and you have a lovely outfit that will see your daughter through to next winter.
