Vintage 1950s Dress White with Black Outlined Cutwork Size M

This is a wonderful 1950s dress made of white gabardine-like fabric, possibly natural wood rayon, with black outlined floral cutwork.  This 1950s dress is made with cap sleeves, has a wide V neckline, elasticized tucking at the centre front waist and has a full cut skirt.  There are loops at either side of the waist, but the belt present is my addition and not original - you could always provide a belt of your choosing, but this belt is included although a little large. This 1950s dress was photographed with a crinoline - the use of a crinoline creates a fuller look although it’s not absolutely necessary.  The dress closes with a zipper at the left side.  It is unlined.    

Label: None , however most likely manufactured

Sizing:  No size is indicated, and although this should fit a medium, please note the following measurements for fit:

Bust:  38” 

Waist:  24”  to 27” fully stretched

Hips:  Full - meant to fall loosely and flare out

Length:  47”, measured flat

Condition:  This 1950s dress is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear, stains or odour.  This is an ink dot at the centre back and a thin ink line at the right lower back above the waist, both very minor and barely noticeable.  I haven’t tried to remove them, but there are methods for doing so should you desire, although I don’t really see the need.

This is an exceptional 1950s dress - wonderful for summer wear!
