Did you see the "circle back" style. It has a much more modest collar.
For the price, these are darling. I'd consider new unless you need a size
larger than they offer.
The little sun dresses are very cute.
How can anyone make these for these prices after fabric, lace and time?
They don't look like they are poorly made.
