A particularly lovely 1950s dress made from a crisp polished cotton with a wonderful brushstroke print in green, yellow and brown on white. The colours are perfect for spring and autumn.
The dress has a deep portrait collar 2024 with a straight cut modesty panel. It has a deep waistband, creating a flattering shelf bust and a side zipper to fasten. The zip is nylon rather than metal, but would appear to be original (nylon zips were being used in the 50s, but were far less common than metal zips).
The skirt has deep pleats all around.
No label, but beautifully made.
Condition is excellent with the dress showing very minor wear, it really does look good as new.
