This is such a wow-factor dress, utter perfection, and hugs you in like a corset, with the fullest circle skirt in a striking bright floral print. Made in a crisp textured cotton in white with print in vivd red, green and orangey-brown. Bold floral print in wide bands, with little raspberries too. Bodice is strapless and finished with a sweetheart bust, sturdily boned for a very hugging fit. Nipped in waistline with matching belt. And full midi circle skirt, looks amazing with a petticoat. Matching cropped bolero jacket with shawl collar and short sleeve, lined in white viscose. No makers labels but looks commercially made. Original 50s. I'm so envious of the tiny waisted person that fits this. It's just a dream.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
