This pretty piece was made in the 1950's.
With a shimmery kingfisher blue base it has floral embroidery in gold featuring flowers. It has a close fitting bodice, which has 2 sections of boning in the front, fastens with a back zip, and has a tea length full skirt. The skirt has an integral white cotton petticoat to stop the slightly rough fabric rubbing.
Would look great worn with a full petticoat.
