Mmm for Muave | Vintage 1950s 1960s Striped Raspberry Pink and Purple Day Dress

The story:

We are thinking the 50s and 60s had the most fun time with prints and colours and finishings. 

This dress has so many shades of pink and mauve we are not even sure what color to call it! 

And the neatest mandarin collar, piped just so perfectly, and the loveliest chevron stripes in gradient colours down the front, further emphasised with white stitching.
