This pretty little day dress was made in the late 1940's or early 1950's.
Made from a beautiful medium weight floppy cotton it has a soft pink base and a charming floral print in white, grey, black and turquoise.
The dress has a fitted waist insert and blouson bodice which fastens with white pearlised buttons. The skirt is pleated and the dress has a neat collar and a metal side zip.
A classic day dress which is a great wardrobe staple for a vintage lover.
