This great vintage dress has loads of rockabilly appeal, in an excellent terra cotta color.
The styling is classic shirtwaist, with a shirt style bodice and super full skirt.
The bodice has a great figure flattering cut and a roomy fit without being untidy. The collar can be worn up or down, depending on your mood. It has a sweet slightly curved low neckline between the offset collar flaps. The curve of the collar tips is mimicked on the folded-up sleeve cuffs, with a split at the top of the arm. The bodice closes with five apple juice-colored translucent buttons with big sparkling rhinestones at the center.
The skirt is full and can be worn over a crinoline as shown (not included), or without for a more casual look. The skirt is stitched vertically all around, creating slightly angled gores and a great visual texture. There are three triple bands of piping horizontally around the skirt. The original matching belt is included.
Wear this lovely dress as part of a casual day outfit, or dress it up with a crinoline, heels, hose, and jewels for a sophisticated look for date night.
I have shown this with a chunky bead necklace as a suggestion for a great look.
