Cute bright pink check 50s dress by Hillora Junior. Crisp cotton with a fitted bodice with a a high rounded neck trimmed in pink and short sleeves. Bodice fastens to the back with small white buttons and a short open slit below the waistband. Full skirt sewn in small gathers. Labeled a Juniors but this must be a young adult size as the length both of skirt and bodice is pretty much a standard ladies. Only thing to note is the back buttoning, which is more common in youth sizes. Looks great with a wide cinch belt.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat and a black belt, neither of which is included in the sale.
