Vanessa G. | Vintage 1980s does 1950s Watercolor brushstrokes Blue roses abstract painting Dress with buttons down the back
The story:
The circular paint-strokes on this dress makes us think of a much lighter, less severe, happier version of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
The shades of blue are simply beautiful. Varying between cornflower blue and very light blue-grey.
A lovely boat-neck neckline, buttons down the back and a waist-tie to give it more shape if you like.
We seldom come across dresses like this with prints like this, so this is a rare one!
