Rare Fruit | Vintage 1950s 1960s floral lace Fuchsia pink purple Full Circle skirt Dress
The story:
Call us zany but the colour on this full circle 1950s skirt 1950s day dress reminds us of the insides of the rare purple flesh Dragon Fruit!
We love that fruit. If you haven't tasted it yet, we truly suggest you give it a go!
The lace floral accents on this are just so cute. Embroidery and little 3D flowers at the bust and a bit of ruffled lace at the hem.
And we do love that wider drapey funnel neckline. Just the right touch of class.
Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one.
