Go West, young ladies, in the Charlotte wrap dress. A simple top with long sleeves means no nonsense, but the romantic ruffles on the skirt keep Charlotte looking divinely feminine. The neckline is finished with facing.
Charlotte does her own thing in both the long and short versions. How much leg do you want to show?

Fabric advice

Go for a woven fabric with a fluid drape, such as crepe, linen, satin, Tencel or muslin. Plain fabric or a print? You can’t go wrong!
