Vintage 1950’s grey swirl cotton sun dress with circle skirt & red bow details M
No era epitomized the feminine like the 1950’s…. This sweet and charming little dress was most likely home-made, making it a one-of-a-kind vintage 50’s piece. Perfect for warmer weather, it is constructed of a lightweight cotton weave fabric, featuring a micro swirling pattern of feather-like plumes on a grey ground, peppered throughout with little red dots! The bodice is form-fitting, with wide shoulder straps accented by red bows and cut through with a red piping. The skirt is a TRUE circle skirt, meaning it creates a full circle when laid flat. Unlined. The center back features a nylon (gasp) zipper closure with metal hook & eye at top. As mentioned above, this dress seemed to have been altered for most of its life. There was some crude stitching along the side seams of the bodice, and when I took those stitches out, it revealed a slightly darker fabric underneath. There are also some ghost stitches still present (will go away with time and wear), as well as the alteration/shortening of the straps by 1/2 inch which has been left intact. No labels or maker’s marks present. Condition is very good aside from the slight issue from alterations mentioned (dress has been washed and cleaned, like all pieces from my shop, unless otherwise noted!). Please review photographs for full details. Please note: in the main photograph the dress has been pinned onto the dress form to show the intended fit. The following photos show the actual fit on my dress form.
