Vintage 1950s polished cotton floral rose print cocktail dress with a full skirt open back.
This is sleeveless with a scooped neckline with gathering along the top edge, a tapered waist, and a matching belt. The top half of the back is exposed with a strip of fabric across the back of the neck.
The skirt is full, with gathers all the way around the waist. A petticoat was used to fill out the skirt for the photos. It is not included.
The fabric is smooth with a little bit of shine - I believe it's cotton. It's printed with watercolor flowers, roses I think, in shades of hot pink, pale pink, and green on a white background.
Closures: Metal zipper up the side of the waist and two faux pearl buttons on the strap across the top of the back.
