Vintage 1950s polished cotton floral print cocktail dress with a full skirt and rhinestone details.
This has a v-neckline in the front and the back, with capped sleeves created by a "collar" that folds into the front and back of the bodice.
The busti is full, the waist is tapered, and the skirt is full, with clusters of inverted pleats on either side of the front, each topped with a cord "X" accented with prong-set rhinestones.
The fabric is a crisp cotton with a little bit of shine with a pretty pink, pale pink, aqua blue, black, jade green, and butter yellow flower and butterfly print on a gray background - a very MCM color combination.
A petticoat was used to fill out the skirt for the photos. It is not included.
