Girls' black gingham tiered dress

Minoti's black gingham dress is a tiered jersey dress in black and white check with a smocked bodice and frill-trimmed straps. Smocking builds the elastication into the fabric, so the bodice gives across the chest without gaping. The straps sit on the shoulders without digging in and the square neckline stays flat. The tiered skirt falls to the knee in a flared shape with room to move, and the check photographs and washes equally well, which makes it reliable from a family gathering to a school event.
