This is a truly stunning dress from the late 1950s. The fabric is silk satin in a glorious and intense emerald green. She has textured flowers all over the dress. Exquisite neckline and beautiful sleeves and skirt. She closes with a side zipper.
The brooch! This dress came to us long ago already with this brooch. She came directly from the original owner so that means this brooch has been attached to that dress since the 1950s. We of course, took out the brooch to clean the dress, but we decided to put it back as they have been together for a lifetime now. So the brooch is included.
