A sweet little dress ensemble that is just the thing for a - Church Tea. The simple sleeveless dress has a fully lined bodice and a lightly gathered skirt with two small pleat details in the front. The dress opens all the way in the back and fastens with five small buttons for easy dressing. The unlined double-breasted jacket fastens in front with four small snaps that are embellished with four decorative buttons. A scalloped hem on the bottom edge of the jacket and sleeves adds a bit of feminine appeal while the bias bound collar is the perfect place to add an exciting dash of color.
