A gorgeous, rare color and lavish machine embroidery set this frock apart, and then you notice things like the shallow pockets, the bow on the back yoke, the pearlescent buttons... and you're in love.

This color is one of those that are hard to capture and that vary depending on your monitor. You'll see that it's different from photo to photo sometimes, and the video looks more neon to me than in real life. It's a shade of periwinkle that can lean a little toward lavender, rich yet soft, perfect for summer.

Flaws: some fading/wear to inside collar and to pocket edge (see photo), wear to the area a belt would go (the belt, alas, is no longer with us).

I've had this piece for years and it's time for her to get out of the closet!

From a nonsmoking, pet-loving home. Cats are not allowed to wear the clothes, but they might help me tape up the packages.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Virginia.
