This pretty day dress was made in the 1950's.
Made from shot grosgrain, meaning it looks a different shade of caramel in different lights, the fabric has a wonderful drape and swish as you walk.
The dress features a close fitting bodice with a high neckline that fastens with black buttons and has an accent neck tie. It has three-quarter length sleeves, fastens on the left side with poppers and still has the original belt.
A great piece for dancing!
