Alana is an elegant dress with a V-neckline, wide sleeves and a swirly skirt. There are three options for the waistband: a pleated one, an elasticated one with 3 elastics to get a smock effect, and a flat waistband. The back is always elasticated, so there is no zipper. Alana is best in a viscose or fine cotton.
