Peach and Gray Dress

Peach satin and grey/taupe crepe chiffon overlay hobble dress - short puffed sleeves with lace, and a typical early teens bodice, with ribbon "lapels" and waistband, and a square neckline. Skirt is typical early hobble style, with pouched/cowled hips and bloused/gathered at the sides just below the knees.
