This vintage 1950s cotton lace dress is a rare example of its kind. Made in the 1950s, it features a slightly off-the-shoulder neckline, with beautiful pintucked details throughout, and lace trim in a scalloped shape— the craftsmanship is so wonderful and immediately apparent. The bodice is fitted, with tightly spaced pintucks flaring out diagonally to match the fullness of the skirt. Lace lace appliqué in a scalloped shape adds additional texture. The flattering off-the shoulder neckline offers versatility, as it can be worn higher on the shoulder or pulled off— or even styled asymmetrically. The flounce at the shoulder emphasizes the clavicle, and the flattering shape. There is and underskirt lining, which adds volume to the skirt's sweep, and prevents sheerness. It is crafted of 100% cotton for a look that's simultaneously special and effortless. It comes with a matching tie belt at the waist, and closes with a hidden zipper down the back.
