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.

View AllNavy Floral Silk *Large Size* Sailor Collar Luncheon Trumpet Dress – L, 1960s
Located in Tucson, AZ
In light-as-air floral silk, this ladylike dress begs to be worn to a shoreline lunch or to the Derby with a perky hat. A charming mix of modesty and femininity, it glides over the body from shoulders to hips, where a zig zag seam unfurls deep pleats that fall from hips to hem. The swoon-worthy skirt swirls alluringly around the legs, while the sailor collar conveys childlike chastity despite its comely plunge.
