This is the outfit that really started the design collaboration with Cedrick and Fabiola. It's an exact replica of Fabiola's outfit from Puerto Rico's Fiesta Festiva of 1955 where she was crowned “Muñeca Bailarina”. The back story on the original is that Fabiola wanted something with traditional ruffles but wanted to stand out in a new way. Her abuelita designed and sewed this garment modeled after something she herself wore back in the 1940s. The result: Ounces of Flounces (as it was originally called in the popular 'Island" collection). It was later rebranded as the Fabiola Flounce under Cedrick's label Fabiola's Favs. Flounces came in various fabrications, colors and patterns.
