1950s Pale Blue Embroidered Cotton Dress

This lovely late 1950s /early 1960s light weight cotton dress in pale blue bears no makers labels but is a very wearable dress and is in excellent vintage condition. The fine cotton fabric is machine embroidered with a swirling fern design in a darker shade of blue and highlighted in white. This is in subtle contrast with the pale background to create a textured jacquard effect. The line of the dress is a soft fit and flare with princess seams on the bodice, tidy waistline and a mid calf length skirt that flares from the hip. There are wide set short sleeves and the round neckline features 2 pearlescent buttons and a wide trim in plain blue cotton that continues at a diagonal either side of the bust to enhance the form. The skirt is lined in a stiff organza style cotton petticoat and there is a concealed zip fastening at the side. This charming piece is has a youthful, feminine feel and would fit up to a US size 10-12, UK 14-16.
