It is crafted from crisp polished cotton in an eye-catching novelty print featuring botanical illustrations of roses, peonies, and lilacs rendered on torn-paper-effect panels set against a warm taupe ground — a distinctly artistic and sophisticated motif for the era.\u003cbr\u003eThe dress features a structured, boned strapless bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a delicate pink velvet halter tie that secures at the back of the neck. The voluminous, full circle skirt has tremendous sweep and movement, characteristic of the petticoat-supported silhouettes fashionable in the 1950s. A metal back zipper completes the closure.\u003cbr\u003eIn excellent condition, freshly cleaned and ready to wear. We have photographed the dress with a full hoop skirt petticoat underneath, not included with purchase. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM E A S U R E M E N T S *\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust: up to 32\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist: up to 25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHips: open\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 41\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits like an extra small \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Alex Coleman California \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: polished cotton, pellon lining, velvet trim and straps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: excellent, freshly cleaned and ready to wear.
