Vibrant floral party dress by California Cottons in a crisp white cotton with a fantastic big purple rose print. Princess seamed bust with short sleeves and a wide scooped neck, slightly lower cut in the back. Fitted waist with a cumberbund style purple cotton band which hooks on to the back, and a big lavish bow in front. Full skirt sewn in wide box pleats. White canvas cotton petticoat. Back metal zipper to fasten. Such a fantastic frock, the print is just gorgeous and so romantic.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.

CONDITION
Very good condition. Hem altered at some point, it has been let down again to the the max. Waist belt has been handsewn on, I'm not sure if it is original to the dress could be a historical alteration done in the 50s/60s, though it very much looks the part. One tiny patched and print matched repair to the front of the skirt, hides very well in the print. See last photo.
