My latest excursion has been playing about with ruffled layers of delicious fabrics from specialist ranges -
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Dr Seuss, Halloween, Hanukkah and Christmas.
All skirts have an adjustable elastic waist and a bottom layer of oh-so-girly tulle.
4 layers fit 3-4 $40 5 layers 5-6 $45
Lovely on milder winter days with leggings
and a long-sleeved tee, or in summer with
a co-ordinating singlet or tee.
