1950s 1960s sunflower yellow cocktail dress | Shae |

The tag says Shae of Miami. Well, Shae, what a wonderful figure you cut.

 In this cheerful yellow, the hostess-with-the-mostess dresses simply but also doesn’t simply dresses. She hosts.

Expertly manuvering between guests, martini and olive in hand. Hair perfectly coiffed but yet full of movement.

The parties of old were really something to be savoured, not stirred. 😉

Comes with a metal zip at the back and expertly-placed darts at the bust for the best effect. A vintage size 16.
