Fun and flirty late 50s / early 60s dress in a pastelly pink and cream. Such a great silhoutte with a dropped waist and a fluffy tiered skirt in three layers. Bodice is nicely fitted with several darts to hug the waist in and neck is a low square design with wide shoulder straps. Dropped waistband from which the skirt falls into a full fit. Each tier of the skirt has a scalloped stitched hem. Back metal zipper to fasten. No labels, I think this has been handmade, zipper and some internal finishes are neatly sewn by hand.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.

CONDITION
Good condition. Slight bit of rust to the hook and eye at top of zip. One small patched repair to the back of the bodice, see photo and a couple of small tears to the lining, which can't be seen externally when worn. Internally I think there are some signs of alterations, but it's really hard to tell, the only thing I can see clearly is that the back darts have been let out, though this is not visible externally when worn.
