Striking thick stiff black 50s dress with white floral embroidery. Heavier weight in a firm crisp fabric, a woven slightly slubby cotton blend possibly? I'm stumped but it gives this a slightly more formal feel, and it holds the full skirt beautifully. Fitted bodice with deep scoop neck and 3/4 sleeve. Waist is firmly cinched in and the skirt very full, with a generous length and hemline. Back metal zipper to fasten. No labels.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
SIZE
The dress is not labeled with a size but fits approx like an XS. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Fit on model: as shown
Chest: 35" (best fit slightly smaller, fabric is a little stiff and has no give)

NB. this has quite generous seam allowances to side seams and back, so room for letting out slightly if desired.
CONDITION
Very good condition. A little bit of even fade to the black, nothing major.
