Sorry, this item has sold.

Fabulous vintage 1950s Dress created from a vibrant and distinctive cream and gold brocade. The bodice is fitted into the waist. From the waist the delicate dirndl skirt, which has a stiffened backing, falls away in luxurious folds. This is a beautiful garment, perfect to team with a little bolero or capelet, or perhaps a stole or wrap, wonderful for the cocktail hour, and those special parties, weddings and race meetings or retro music nights. The garment is unworn and in original condition and has been dry cleaned.
