Lovely handmade early 60s party dress in a soft oyster/cream with a hazy floral print in soft pastel pinks, purples and vivid green and turquoise of what looks like smudged roses and leaves. Subtly drop waisted bodice with princess seams and a high wide rounded necklien. Waist has an attached tie belt to cinch the silhouette in to suit and the dropped waist sits just below with the skirt sewn in wide pleats and two decorative strap and button features to the front. Skirt is full. Back nylon zipper to fasten. No labels. Not sure of fabric content, feels a bit like silk but could be a synthetic silk imitation or a blend. Really lovely soft feel with a nice matted sheen, and a slight crispness which makes it hold the shape very nicely. Bodice is lined in a light gauze cotton, skirt unlined.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
