Stunning Bright Original 1950s Vintage Blue Floral Summer Dress

This fabulous dress was made in the 1950s from cotton in a bright white, blue and yellow floral print. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with a nipped waist and a flared skirt perfect for dancing. The sleeveless neckline creates a deep V which features a modesty panel behind and three decorative buttons. The skirt is pleated at the waist giving it lovely swish and movement and the dress fastens with an original metal side zipper. 

Bust: 36”

Waist: 29”

Hips: free

Length: 43”

The dress is in very good condition with no issues to note.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in pure white cotton.

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
