thanks so much but I don't think I can be describing very well....empire line is

like this but we don't want one with a frilled neckline...and it should be cotton and white or pale blue or pale pink....cotton only...and plain...a little bit of ribbon at the bodice but nothing lacy....only a fine small dot or stripe would be ok really no florals.

It might be cheaper to have one made!

trixymalixy · 15/05/2012 21:29

FWIW, the resale value of ilovegorgeous dresses is pretty good on eBay.

That is really beautiful trixy, wow!

Houseoncorner, does your sis know how to sew? An empire line dress for a young girl may be easy to sew yourself, if you have a pattern....

I told her that UML but she won't try...she can sew actually but doesn't seem interested in attempting to make one...I think she's thinking it may "look" homemade.
