Handknitted warm purple dress with scattered white stitch pattern. Completely handmade in a very warm soft acrylic. Really cute 50s styled fit with puffed sleeves with white fitted stitching to the cuff and small ruffles. Scooped neck. Wide fitted waistband design which is knit in a white stripe pattern which gives it quite a bit of firmness. Full skirt. No labels. Hard to date, but would estimate maybe 60s, but very hard to tell with handknits, could have been made later from a vintage pattern.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
SIZEThe dress is not labeled with a size but fits approx like a Small. For your best fit please refer to the measurements. No fasteners, this pulls over the head.
