This beautiful piece was made in the 1950's and is labelled 'Reba Moden'.
Made from nylon it has a white and blue base, which looks like water, and a swirl pattern in black with bold green diamonds.
It features a smooth fitting bodice, a wide collar, a very structured skirt with broad pleats and still has the original belt, which fastens with a hook and popper.
A very bold print, the fabric is semi sheer so you'll need to wear a slip.
