This beautiful silk dress is inspired by the timeless style of the Fifties. It is made from a fabulous raw silk dupion in an Ivory colour overlaid on the bodice with a delicate Floral Ivory lace. The silk has an organic texture with a very subtle sheen and the lace has a twisting floral design which creates a very formal and glamorous effect for the dress. The dress has a snugly fitted bodice with a beautiful sweetheart neckline that dips to a low V at the back. The fitted waistband is designed to flatter either a fuller or a slimmer figure and it is complemented by a generous full pleated skirt and fitted elbow length sleeves in a single layer of intricate lace. 

The dress can be worn with a petticoat for the full 1950s effect (as pictured - petticoat not included) or left to hang naturally for a more subtle silhouette. 

This dress is ready made and available off-the-peg in a size UK 10 (US 6-8/EU 38).

It has been made to fit a waist measurement of 27-28” (69-72cm) and a bust measurement of 35-36” (88-92cm).

The skirt on this dress is 24” (61cm) long which will be knee length on most people.

Designed, cut and sewn with care in Brighton, England.
