Like Cotton Candy at the county fair...

Lightweight Cotton fabric in a tiny geometrical print of vibrant Red dots on a White ground, creating a beautiful pastel Pink shade from afar. Darling 1950s inspired day dress with a gathered bust detail, a fitted waist accentuating your curves and a head-turning low back neckline, topped by three decorative front bows..

 

- gathered bust detail

- low-back neckline (still covers a bra)

- three decorative front bows

- wide, gathered skirt

- lined bodice, unlined skirt (semi-opaque)

- below knee length (or custom length)

 

As a PRETTIE LANES original, you can find signature Mid-Century authentic details, such as a lapped metal zipper (center back), true to era seam finishing and genuinely hand-stitched details inside the dress - a couture finish typical for the fashion of the 1950s.
