We have many kinds of beautiful sheath dresses for ladies. Most are bleached white, but we also have many dresses dyed in bright colors like green, blue, red, and yellow.We have long, almost ankle-length linen dresses of the best grades of cloth. The dresses are fashionably tight fitting, and you have your choice of dresses that start just below or just above the breasts. We have a wide variety of tapering shoulder straps that are narrowest at the top of the shoulders. Choose from plain or beaded straps.
Dresses
We also have ready-made dresses at good prices for working women. We have dresses in several different, coarser grades. You'll find a grade of cloth that fits the amount of items you have to trade for the dress. These dresses are looser fitting than the more expensive dresses, allowing you freedom to work. We also have belts or ties for those dresses that need them.
We also have long, sleeveless dresses with long V-necks. We also have dresses with V-necks and long, narrow sleeves. The V-neck can be pulled closer together through flax ties. These come with or without fringe along the seam.
