This gorgeous little dress dates from the 1950s and has such pretty colors and pretty lines that you can't help but swoon at the sight of it. It is also remarkable crisp and white for a dress from this period and it was obviously stored well over all these years. It has no label but is very well made and the cotton fabric that was used to make it is just lovely. The top is a simple and fitted with affair tiny little double straps that curve up and around each shoulder. The waist line is cinched in and there is the prettiest flat bow, made form the same fabric, that sits at the center to give it a little extra detailing. This tops a full skirt that has lots of fabric in it and could be worn over a light crinoline if you wanted it even fuller. The green and pink floral design is so pretty and the colors are a lovely pop against the white. In person the pink stand out more as the primary color than how it photos. Excellent condition with a minor note below
Fully lined in a white muslin and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The zipper has a tiny bit of 'stick' to it but works fine. There is one smudge on the side of the skirt. Please see the last photo shown here. The owner had some of the seams reinforced/re-done at one point.
