Description:I just love this dress (I have one just like it in blue!) made of a floral print cotton in pinks/reds on white the dress has a front zip, inset gathered neckline with rick-rack trim and pin pleating down the front. And of course the dress has nice roomy pockets with rick-rack trim. Vintage does not get any better than this! Possibly home sewn, but I know dresses like these were made commercially in thw 1950s by a variety of manufacturers. Light uniform fade from normal laundering and this does not take away form the dress at all. Clean and ready to wear -- don't be left without this dress in your collection!
