Such a fun piece. Possibly handmade 50s pastel pink cotton halter dress with a long full circle sweep skirt. Beautiful halter neck bodice with two covered buttons to the neck and a really flattering gathered bustline. Arm holes and neck strap is trimmed in a more vivid darker pink. Top is light and unboned, lined in white cotton. Fitted waist with rolled waistband trim and a huge full skirt. Applique melons on the skirt, one huge on and one small which also works as a shallow pocket on the hip. Really cute design with 3D buttons to mimic the seeds. Back metal zip to fasten and long tie bow to the top of back. No labels.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.

CONDITION
Good condition.
-There are some marks to the skirt, this has been cleaned so what remains may be something you would have to live with, but they are all either very faint, or tiny and the skirt is VERY full, so very forgiving when worn, as things hides in the folds. I've attached photos of all spots I can find, there are two faint lightened spots, a couple of very faint yellow smudges and a few scatterings of tiny grey specks. All shown.
-A couple of small repairs, the bow straps at the back has been resewn on, and some signs of wear inside edge, but this can't be seen when worn.
-Slight bit of fade to the smaller melon.
Priced to reflect.
