Romantic 50s dress in a classic Mid Century floral. Big stylized roses in green and dark pink on a soft off-white. Fabric is a semi-sheer nylon. Lovely silhouette with a fitted curved underbust with overlapping v-neck and small gathers to give fullness to the bustline. Sleeveless fit. Natural waistline nips the silhouette in and has attached straps to the sides to cinch you in further. Dropped waistband and very full skirt. Inset back metal zipper to fasten. No labels but a small size tag to neck, so most likely commercially made.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
