A Champion's dress? I think yes!

The subtle colours of this dress amongst the plethora of uber-bright colours is sure to be noticed.

Check out this beautiful dress from designer Eileen Plater. I've named her as one of my top and most favourite designers and it's easy to see why - the attention to detail and the elegance of the craftsmanship is similar to that of dressmaker to the worlds Elevation Designs. Note how she uses simple but bold black appliqué to decorate the dress in a way that looks simple, beautiful and undoubtedly girly with the inclusion of the bow. The ruffle skirt is almost reminiscent of a ballet tutu skirt (Black Swan fashion comes to Irish Dancing too?) and instantly bespeaks feminity, gracefulness and delicacy. It really is a beautiful dress, and at £495 an absolute steal. If you or your daughter fits an age 9-11 this is definitely a dress to consider. Eileen Plater often uploads new off-the-rack (but still unique) dresses to their website, which at a fraction of the cost and double the quality of other dressmakers means they're one to watch on my browser every day.
