1950s Alice Edwards Floral Cotton Shirtwaister Dress

About the Item

This feminine, princess length shirt-dress dates back to the mid 1950s and is one of the earliest designs we have even seen from this label. The whimsically printed cotton is quintessentially British with its nautical, pale blue and white stripes and pretty pink florals. The softly pleated, full skirt falls to below the knee from a nipped-in waist and the dress has two side pockets. The neckline is square and the sleeves have sweet turned-up cuffs. The double-breasted front with black polished plastic buttons adds to the slight nautical feel. The typically ’50s graphics of the label read “modelled by Alice Edwards” in red font on white satin. This dress fastens under the arm with a hidden white zip. In excellent vintage condition with no issues. Due to its age, it has no size or composition label so please check our measurements closely. The fabric does not have any stretch. We estimate a best fit for a UK 8-10 or US 4-6 with a small waist. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 34 in. (86 cm) WAIST - 26 in. (66 cm) HIP - 44 in.
