So pretty! So demure! This classic 1950s fit and flare dress is made in a soft grey linen with large scale ivory blooms appliquéd to crawl from the skirt to the shoulder and overlapping on the rounded open neckline. The cap sleeve bodice has bust darts and a nipped in waist for that feminine 1950s look, and the flared midi length skirt is light and gauzy, perfect for twirling. Elegant for evening with simple earrings and heeled sandals or mary janes, it could be dressed down with fitted knee high boots and a leather jacket or even sneakers and denim for a cute fall look. By label David Crystal circa 1950s.
