Sweet Country of Mine | Vintage White 1980s embroidered details Pocket dress with Blue Binding
The story:
This breezy easy summer dress in white (hey, nothing better than wearing white on hot hot days!) is loose enough to be worn loose fit for smaller-sized girls and it fits up to a modern size 14/16 we would say ;)
Love the light coloured, embroidered details at the neckline and also on the 2 big front pockets! The light-blue binding on the neck and armholes make it all so elegant too.
Pinned?:
No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one. Please refer to the details below for exact measurements.
