Sweet late 50s Novelty Print Shirwaist Dress -
SOLD
Sometimes, finding cute vintage in a larger sizes is a challenge. Here's an an adorable late '40s /early '50s dress in a really hard to find size.
A pretty bright navy blue background is dotted with a flurry of red and white flowers. At times, we think they're like dragon flies. Sometimes, they remind us of butterflies. Or maybe they're just an abstract novelty print. Whatever the case, this dress is super sweet. It's a shirt waist dress with shiny, cherry red buttons. It has a matching belt that was specifically constructed for it. It's newer than the dress, but the plastic belt buckle looks perfect with the buttons. The collar is wide, almost nautical looking, and the short sleeves feature turn back cuffs that are also adorned with cute red buttons.
This special dress ought to move comfortably through many seasons. Grab it while you still have a chance to make it your own.
