Description
Mouth-watering raspberries in fuchsia and grey cover this printed silk 1950's dress and cropped, short-sleeved jacket. The dress has a classic 50's wiggle shape, fitted through the bodice, waist and hips. The front of the dress has a simple scoop neckline, but in back, a nice surprise: diagonal straps show some skin! The silk fabric is very fine, almost like lingerie, with an equally fine white silk lining, so the feel of the dress is light as a feather. The dress closes with a side metal zipper. The matching jacket has a sweet round collar, a snap-off bow at the neck, and closes with covered metal buttons (one of which has discolored somewhat--probably rust). The jacket is unlined. Other than the discolored button, the dress has very minor underarm yellowing (see close-up photo). It is in very good condition, perfect for wearing to a summer wedding, with its lightweight, airy fabric and pretty print.
