I don't get as many 50s dresses in as I'd like to so this was a real treat to find amongst my stock.
The label is California whose tag line iThe Look You Love' says it all. Replicating that late fifties rock and roll vibe, the dress is in a quality cotton seersucker fabric which sees the alternate vertical check lines textured adding another design element.
Sleeveless, the dress has a wide scooped neck line, there is tailoring at the bust and back and the centre front has seven covered orange buttons decorating the bodice.
The skirt falls in three tiers and the dress is unlined. It fastens at the back with the original zipper which is in good working order. There is a broad orange belt accessorising the waist line.
Although labelled as a size 16 the measurements are closer to a current size 14 so please check your sizing.
Measurements:
Underarm to underarm 18" / 46cm
Armhole width 8.25" / 21cm
Across waist 15" / 38cm
Shoulder to hem 40" / 102cm
