Welcome To The Kimberley Coast, the Australian Outback’s premier destination. Whether you're strolling along the beach or taking in the view from a cruise ship, the Liberty Jane Outback Libby: Kimberley Tank Dress is the perfect choice for your Aussie-styled adventure.
The flirty ruffles and lace inset give this charming dropped waist dress just the right amount of feminine flair. Princess seams highlight the inset design with gentle curves in the front and clean lines in the back. The dress is fully lined for an easily sewn neckline and finished off with armscye binding eliminating turning through the narrow shoulders! A button and loop closure at back adds another pretty detail.
Suggested fabrics: challis, rayon blends, cotton voile, batiste, or other soft, lightweight fabrics. Lace for Inset. Rayon challis was used in both cover examples. Fabric and lace were both originally white, dyed with liquid RIT dye to create custom fabrics with an exact match.
