Gingham Sweetheart | Vintage 1950s sweetheart neckline Gingham Red White checks Full skirt with Back Sash
The story:
We are a little into gingham and plaid right now. Ok, who are we kidding, we have always been big fans.
They come in so many colors, sizes, variations, it just amazes us. Totally up there with polka dots and stripes.
This has a beautiful sweetheart neckline, buttons down the front, and an attached sash which tied behind (but nothing's stopping you from tying it in front of course!)
What we really love are the sleeves! Scrunched up, it could be a strap dress, but spread the fabric out and it is a cute fan-sleeve that just covers the arms. Our favourite sleeves ever.
There's a tag that says "Ravi Vattain" (or at least we think that's what it says, so cursive! But we couldn't for the life of us find anything about it, so if anyone out there knows anything please do let us know!)
