This is a gorgeous dress from the very late 1950s or very early 1960s. The fabric is cotton thread in black and white and the skirt has beautiful pannels in white with an abstract floral print. This dress looks homemade but it has a beautiful shape (not in has been pinned to show fit as the dress is way too big for our dummy). She closes with a back metal zipper and has linen underskirt.
