Description:

Summer Dress - "Petite Robe d'Ete" – adapted from a pattern issued free with French magazine "La Mode Pratique", April 3rd. 1937. Made from vintage feedsack inspired 100% cotton fabric which has a stylised water-lily pattern of abstract blue & yellow flowers on white leaves on a blue background.
