The sleeves feature drop shoulders and a button band at the wrist. The sleeves are full enough to be worn rolled up the arms for kitchen, laundry, or other hard work.   The bodice and skirt are both gathered into a waistband.

Optional piping in the seams of the drop shoulders and the standing collar. 

The bodice buttons cloosed down the front.  The skirt closes with an overlapping buttoned waistband and invisible zipper.

You have the option of having the dress made up as a one piece dress (green) or converting it to a two piece dress which buttons together at the waist (blue).
