Arya Pinafore Dress
Arya is a sleeveless pinafore dress made out of faux leather, with a straight silhouette and a double breasted front which closes with snaps. The front bodice has bust darts. The pinafore features a V-shaped neckline and thin straps that connect to a shortened curved back. A separate self-fabric belt cinches the waist through topstitched belt loops at the front and back waistline. Arya has pockets at the side seams and decorative topstitching on the belt loops, bodice and skirt edges, armscye, pocket opening, as well as around the perimeter of the belt. The insides are neatly finished with a free-hanging lining and the dress is below the knee length.
