50’s Purple and White Floral Print Party Dress with Dropped Waist, Full Skirted Fit and Flare Cocktail Dress$135.00
Gorgeous purple floral print dress in shades of purple, white, & cocoa accented with black. Fitted bodice, dropped waist and full skirt.
The fabric is medium weight and feels like a blend of silk and rayon as it is crisp, yet cool to the touch.
Classic New Look styling with a fitted and darted bodice, nipped waist and full gathered skirt with a 124" bottom sweep.
Vee neckline is pleated at the top of the shoulder on the front with a pleated back collar.
Dropped waist with a self-fabric attached belt accented with a center front rhinestone buckle.
The skirt is gathered where it is sewn to the waist seam.
The bodice is lined with off white acetate satin from the natural waist to the dropped waist - the upper bodice is unlined.
Double skirted with an off white satin acetate inner skirt with a purple tulle ruffle around the bottom.
Does up the center back with a long metal zipper.
I'm 5'4" tall and this comes to my lower calf. It may be shorter or longer on you depending on your height.
No labels - this appears to be handmade by a skilled seamstress or tailor.
SIZING: No size tags. I'd say this would best fit a modern Small based on the measurements below.
