Vintage 50s Purple Floral Print Party Dress, Full Skirted Fit and Flare order Cocktail Dress, Dropped Waist, Size S Small

Gorgeous purple floral print dress with fitted bodice, dropped waist and full skirt.

The fabric is medium weight fabric and feels like a blend of silk and rayon as it is crisp, yet cool to the touch.

Floral pattern in shades of purple, white and cocoa brown accented with black as pictured.

Classic New Look styling with a fitted and darted bodice, nipped waist and full gathered skirt with a 124" bottom skirt sweep.

Vee neckline is pleated at the top of the shoulder on the front and features an attached overlaid pleated back collar as pictured.

Dropped waist accented with a self-fabric attached belt accented with a center front rhinestone buckle as pictured. The skirt is gathered where it is sewn to the drop waist seam.

The bodice is lined with off white acetate satin from the natural waist to the dropped waist - the upper bodice is unlined.

Double skirted with an off white satin acetate inner skirt with a purple tulle ruffle around the bottom.

Does up the center back with a long metal zipper.

I'm 5'4" tall and this comes to my lower calf. It may be shorter or longer on you depending on your height.

No labels - this appears to be handmade by a skilled seamstress or tailor.
