This design combines various techniques to create a one-of-a-kind traditional style. The Olivia's Shimmering Lace dress will announce that the long days of winter are over and spring has now arrived. Your special little girl will love twirling and dancing in the glistening lined full skirt, satin sash and lacy anklets or cheerful little shoe-clips. You can adorn her dress and her hair with matching floral pin and barrettes. And of course no outfit is complete without a coordinated purse. She will love being able to carry her small treasures and other "little girl essentials" in the fully lined purse.
