Mini Maddie Girl's Dress

This Maddie Dress is proving to be the favourite of our ‘Mini Me’ collection; with the pretty leaf detailing on its flared skirt (which is excellent for twirling)!  The same leaf motif is incorporated on the sleeve and back which adds a subtle theme to an exceptional garment.
