'La Luna' Outfit Inspiration and Sizing Guide!

She crept silently towards the glade, drawn by the silvery peals of laughter, as if under a spell.  

The women dancing in the moonlight wore the most beautiful of vintage style dresses - a breathtaking testament to their whimsical nature. Each style of 'La Luna' gown they wore was a work of art, crafted with exquisite attention to detail and created with delicate materials that seemed to capture the very essence of moonlight.

One wore a long gown, the ruffles and draped fabric flowing gracefully around her lithe form. The ‘La Luna’ Floral Maxi Dress, created in fabric as soft and luxurious as the finest silk, was kissed by the silvery glow of the moon, giving it an otherworldly shimmer. Another wore a vintage style gown created in intricate lace, which traced delicate patterns across her curves, resembling the frost that adorned the world on a cold winter's morning. The ‘La Luna’ Lace Maxi Dress was like no dress she’d ever seen before.

Ruffles of sheer tulle spilled down from their shoulders, creating an illusion of delicate wings. The ruffles fluttered and swirled as the dancers moved, like the gossamer wings of butterflies in flight. Each layer of tulle added to the dreamlike quality of their ‘La Luna’ Wiggle Dresses, as if they were wrapped in layers of moonlit mist, while the figure-hugging skirts only accentuated their movements, cinching their waists, and skimming perfectly over their hips.

Their pleated skirts billowed out over layers of petticoats, like a cloud of moonbeams, and with each twirl, the skirts took on a life of their own, dancing in harmony with the women who wore them. Ruffles and laces adorned their 'La Luna' Dancing Girl Skirts, capturing the soft glow of the moon's light and reflecting it in a mesmerizing display of luminescence.

Blossoms adorned their hair, which cascaded like silken waterfalls.  The women were a vision of elegance and enchantment, their ‘La Luna’ designs a reflection of the magical world they inhabited. As they danced in the moonlight, their gowns seemed to come alive, mirroring the beauty and grace of the dancers themselves. They danced for the love they felt for the moon, for the ancient trees that whispered secrets, and for the magic that flowed through their very beings. With each graceful step, they felt their spirits soar higher, bridging the gap between the earthly realm and the mystical world beyond.

As she took her place amongst them, twirling with joy at the way her dress flew around her, she knew she had indeed fallen under the spell of the moon… with ‘La Luna’!
