This pretty little piece was made in the 1950's.
Made from sheer nylon it is a classic piece from the era. Featuring a crossover bodice with a fitted waist it has a fabulously full skirt, which would look amazing worn with a petticoat. It fastens down the centre back with a long metal zip and still has the original belt.
