Meet Palatara, named after her wondrous Liberty print fabric! This Sue Court beauty is just outstandingly precious and truly is one of the finest Liberty dresses to ever grace my rails. The craftsmanship that has went into this beauty is quite simply exceptional, her hand smocked bodice will have taken hours, if not days or even weeks to complete by hand. She has a beautiful puritan style collar and sweet white cuffs which are both sweetly hand embroidered. She has an insane print, and her fabric feels like a fine wool blend. This is undoubtedly a precious collectors piece, and she is the type of dress which always makes vintage so special, hand smocking is a bygone art, and you can just tell so much love has been poured into this piece. I hope she finds a fantastic home, I know this dress will never be found again!
