Linzi Line late 40s tea dress in a soft cream colour with a lovely paisley-esque floral pattern in dusky pink, black and petroleum blue. Sleeveless bodice with a shirt style cut with two large black shank buttons to the chest. V-neck and padded shoulder with a lovely ruffled cape collar, which creates a short sleeve effect. Fitted waistband with side metal zipper to fasten. Bias cut midi skirt with a generous lenght and soft a-line flare. Not sure of fabric content, it's a coarser woven material, a little bit heavier than standard dress cotton, could be a brushed rayon. Falls really beautifully and doesn't crease easily!
Dress is pictured with a petticoat and belt which is not included in the sale.
