Description
This darling 1950’s Italian ensemble, made in Florence, reminds me a Fellini film heroine. The curve-hugging pink rib-knit off-the-shoulder blouse would look right at home on one of his sultry characters. The fringed neckline folds over, baring as much or as little as you like, and can also be worn up on the shoulders if you’d prefer. It is stretchy, and pulls over the head. The hem of the top extends several inches underneath the waist of the skirt. The pink and blue woven straw skirt is a full, classic 50’s circle shape, shown here with a crinoline (not included). It is lined in pink taffeta with a section of stiffening at the hem. The skirt closes with a side metal zipper. Both pieces are in very good condition: there are a few tiny, difficult to see spots on the ribbed top, the fringe on the top is fuzzy and a bit tangled from laundering and the skirt is in need of pressing. (I wasn’t really sure how to press straw, so I left it as found.)
