Blue Butterfly Sketch New Look Ballerina Sundress with Bib Points - XS, 1950s
About the Item
With a silhouette sweet enough for a music-box ballerina and a loose, Matisse-like butterfly sketch print, this singular party dress will be the center of attention at any gathering. The azure watercolor stain butterflies almost vibrate with intensity against the off-white poplin ground, while the swirling 13-foot skirt recalls Dior's New Look confections without the formality.
Sleeveless circle dress with wide shoulder straps and scooped front and rear neckline. Bodice features pointed joinery where bodice meets straps, plus front and rear princess seams for sculpted fit; full circle skirt. Rear metal zipper closure with top hook and eye; unlined.
