Desert Rose | Vintage 1950s 1960s Embroidered Dais
The story:
Embroidery impresses us. Is that normal? We love this gorgeous 1950s embroidered chiffon (at least we think it is, or some sort of very light muslin) dusky light rose pink dress.
Such a delicate look with the prettiest white daffodils and light grey stems. The threads are silky so they add a little bit of shine to them.
Zipper seems to have been replaced at the back because it looks new compared to the fabric.Pinned?:
No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one. Please refer to the details below for exact measurements.
Measurements:
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat.
Please DOUBLE the measurements provided to get the approximate circumference measurements.
