1950s sheer cotton + appliqued flower dress

Description

1950s sheer black cotton dress with off-white appliqué flowers trimming the front neckline. Both front and back v-neckline. Full pleated skirt, piping around the waist. Bodice lined with a medium weight black cotton and an underskirt of the same fabric. Metal zipper up the back with hook and eye closure.

label: professionally made

condition: barely worn, freshly cleaned – flowers are bright and crisp like new. Two minor issues that are easy fixes – small seam repair along the left underarm and resewing the top back eye closure right above the zipper.
