Maureen | Vintage 1950s 1960s Contrast schoolgirl Collar Burgundy Purple Dress

We love adding to our "Solids" tab in our all-new "Shop-by-pattern" section ;) 

This gorgeous burgundy, maroon colour is a wardrobe ever-green. It goes will with a navy coat, or a light ecru-coloured cardigan. Or even if you want to go a little bolder with a printed short-cropped tapestry jacket or cute wingtip shoes. The possibilities!  

Buttons up at the back and has a cute little left bust pocket. 

Pinned?: No.
