XS - XXXL

Mix a dash of Bohemian with a sturdy dose of romantic and a splash of Western and what do you get? An on-trend prairie dress! Marion features raglan sleeves, a jewel neck, a tiered skirt, elasticised wrists and waist, and a tie for the waistline. Tighten or wear it comfortably loose. Not fond of the ruffles at the wrists? The solution is simple. Just leave off the ruffle strips and finish the sleeve with a double fold hem. For a nifty alternative, you can also turn Marion into a top in no time by leaving off the bottom tier of the skirt.
