1950s Candy Stripe Pocket Dress M

 Cute and crisp candy striped fit and flare sundress with a chic Betty Draper meets Barbie vibe, perfect for sunny days. The fitted bodice has a scooped bateau style neckline (very Marilyn), bust darts, and thick tank straps with a nipped in waist leading to an ultra full pleated skirt accented by unique pentagonal chevron pockets. Made in a luxe lightweight silk with bubblegum, bellini, and violet vertical stripes, it's fun dressed up or down -- try adding a wide belt at the waist in white, brown, or gold and topping it with a denim jacket. By label Carole King Original, circa 1950s.
