Navy Floral Silk *Large Size* Sailor Collar Luncheon Trumpet Dress – L, 1960s

About the Item

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. Sleeveless cream and navy trumpet dress with upwardly-curved, gathered empire waist, V neckline and knotted sailor collar with free-hanging front tails. Zig Zag seam across hip line, below which deep pleats open from hips to hem. Inset metal zipper at left side. Lined in white acetate at back, and from waist to hip seam around full circumference.
