This one-of-a-kind vintage 1950s fit and flare dress is full of special hand-crafted design details that make it so special. The beautiful cornflower-blue cotton fabric has a super-soft hand-feel to, and naturally has a lot of stretch. It's embroidered all over with webs of intricate threadwork, and interspersed throughout are little reflective mirror embellishments. The construction of the dress is also incredible: there is a yoke-waist creating a defined, hourglass shape, a surplice neckline forming a V-neck, and sloped shoulders— together, this is very much the silhouette of Christian Dior's 1947 "New Look." The skirt is lined for comfort, and to create a bit more fullness. It closes with a side zipper.
Measurements: This is shown unpinned on a size X-Small and is just slightly large but still works; it will likely work best on a size X-Small, Small, and Medium, but please refer to below measurements to be sure. (The fabric stretches; keep in mind the side-zip closure, so it must go on overhead.) Chest: 36" laid flat, more room with stretch/gathering/surplice V-neckline Waist: 27" laid flat, up to 29" pulled taut
Length: 44"
Great vintage condition, with minor wear commensurate with age. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email shop@verybreezy.com for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.
