A classic of her era and a wearable addition to your vintage wardrobe.

Her small boat shaped neckline is edged with a khaki coloured crocheted binding in keeping with the subdued hues of the print.

She has ruffles leading from the shoulder and finishing at her empire waist line and ending with a belt tie that goes around the waist to give a cinched waist.

Her wonderful bell shaped, fluted sleeves give this dress a light, airy feel and are also edged with crocheted binding.

Her tiered skirt adds volume and completes the cottage, prairie feel of this dress.

She is fully lined with a soft pink lining.
