Colorful Ruffle Dress

Order via Japan Rabbit

Step into a sweet world of color with this ruffled cotton lawn dress inspired by Oiri, traditional Japanese wedding confections from western Kagawa prefecture. Oiri are known for their cheerful pastel hues and are given as lucky gifts to celebrate new beginnings, such as weddings. This piece translates that delightful tradition into soft, 100 percent cotton fashion.

Playful ruffles frame the design, paired with color-matched ribbon details arranged vertically along the neckline and hem. Its front-opening design offers versatile styling options: wear it closed, layer a petticoat underneath, or drape it over another piece entirely.

To make layering simple, ruffles are left off the upper back section, so you can add a cardigan on top without extra bulk. Adjustable ribbons at the back let you tailor the silhouette to your liking.

This brand-new dress features delicate embroidered accents and fine pico trim, which call for gentle hand washing in water up to 40°C with a neutral detergent. It is a vibrant, airy addition to any wardrobe inspired by Japanese craft and sweet regional culture.
