About the Item

We really love the simplicity of the design of this classic 1950s dress. The skirt is almost a full circle with a stiffed calico petticoat and the pattern reminds us of the space invaders game as the dots look like mini spaceships! The pattern is two tone in colour – black and olive green. The dress has a high sweetheart neckline with an interesting crossover detail and a button on the front. The bodice is seamed up the middle and there are two front pockets enhanced with a chevron detail. This dress does up to the side with its original metal zip. It is in really fabulous condition - the cotton is super fresh with no flaws of any note. It is not labelled but this has been professionally made by a very competent seamstress. It retains its original length which is mid-calf and would fit up to a UK 8, US 4. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (162cm) and this dress was a great fit on her. MEASUREMENTS: Bust - 35 in (88.9 cm) Waist - 25 in (63.5 cm) Hip - 34 in (86.4 cm) Length - 45 in (114.3 cm) Shoulders - 15 in (38.1 cm)
