This fabulously full skirted dress was made in the 1950's.
Made from white nylon it has a very fitted bodice with a smooth fitting waist insert and gathered bust detail. It fastens down the back with a long metal zip and has a wonderfully full skirt which looks great worn over a full petticoat.
The bodice is fully lined and the skirt is lined and has a layer of net to help give it a lift.
A truly pretty dress which is just perfect for summer.
