This pretty little dress is so much better in person than it shows in the photos.
Made in the 1950's from crisp cotton it has a pale pin base and ice blue plaid woven into the fabric.
With a button bodice, metal side zip, smart collar, cuffed sleeves, broad pleated skirt and original belt, it is a classic piece of the era.
Looks great worn with petticoats.
Please note it has been hard to properly capture the colour but it is truest in the photo showing a close up of the button.
