1950s floral dress with sweet velvet bow detail – UK 6/8

1950s vintage floral dress with gorgeous dainty floral bayadere pattern. This gorgeous vintage dress features a brown velvet ribbon trim and lovely silver coloured ‘faux rhinestone’ buttons. The dress comes with a belt which I think it isn’t the original, but was made some years later. Fit and flare shape with a metal side zip, typical of the era. A stunning little dress, in fabulous condition for around 65 or so years old! Please feel free to get in touch should you have any questions.
