Beautiful lustrous cream and green floral cotton dress by Horrockses Fashions. High end cotton with a romantic stemmed floral print in artistic subdued green. Bodice is fitted and back in matching cotton and has a sweetheart bust with a small fold details which continues into the thin shoulder straps. Nicely fitted and not bond with a cinched waist and skirt sewn in gathers over the hips and back with a princess panelling to the centre front and subtly dropped V to the back of waist. Skirt is long, ankle length approx and has a slightly stiffer interfacing backing to the front which makes it hold the shape beautifully and give the silhouette a slightly more formal feel. Back metal zip to fasten.
