Dark floral sun dress by Lucie Linden. Approx early 80s era, but design and print is very reminiscent of the 50s. Dark grey with huge vivid floral print in red, mint green and dusky midnight purple. Fitted bodice with sweetheart bustline with small gathers between the breasts and a little bow detail. Thin shoulder straps. Fitted waistband and full circle sweep skirt. Side nylon zipper to fasten. No sure what fabric content is, feels like a slightly coarser woven material, possibly a rayon or a synthetic blend. Unlined.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
SIZE
The dress is labeled a size 38 but fits approx like an XS-S. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Fit on model:
Chest: 33-33.5"
Underbust: 30" stretches to 31"
Waist: 26" little bit of give, can pull to 27" taut

Top of bust to waist: 11"
Shoulder to waist: approx 17" but this shorten slightly as the bodice stretches on the width, so think this fits closer to 16 when worn.

Good condition.
