Frederique by Maggie Sottero

Frederique is held to the body as far as the knee, then let go into a flare. The neckline curves in two soft peaks across the bust. The lace carries the pattern, worked open so what is under it still reads. The hem runs out into a chapel train, the shorter of the two usual ones, and the back fastens with buttons down the spine, which is the side the ceremony sees.
