This piece was made in the 1950's by Carnegie.
Made from vibrant turquoise blue cotton it has a very fitted bodice with a deep v-neck and fastens down the back with a long metal zip. The skirt is very full and pleated at the waist and there is an attached cotton underskirt. The bodice is beautifully trimmed with white soutache and the dress would look fabulous worn with a full petticoat.
