Vintage 1950s handmade party dress featuring a timeless fit-and-flare silhouette in a beautiful blue, turquoise, white, and lavender floral print. The dress is designed with a sheer floral overlay over a matching underlayer, creating a soft dimensional effect, while the wide pleated satin waistband accentuates the waist. Finished with a vintage metal back zipper and a full tea-length skirt that moves beautifully.
A lovely choice for collectors of authentic mid-century fashion or for weddings, garden parties, tea parties, vintage events, rockabilly styling, or pin-up fashion.
