Watermelon Slice | Vintage 1980s Sharon Young Boutique embroidered Watermelon patch Black & White Gingham 100% cotton Dress

The story:

Who doesn't love a watermelon! 

We are always in search of fruity fun prints and though this is not a print per se, we love it even more for the way it incorporates the fresh, juicy, summer fruit! 

2 slices for a perfectly juicy afternoon out eh ;) 

This is a smashing vintage 1980s boutique-made calf-length dress in gorgeous 100% black/white gingham cotton. The watermelon collar is what gets us most excited of course! 

It looks like it is separate pieces of fabric embroidered on to form the 2 slices of yummy red/green watermelon!

Has 2 ties extending from about 4in from each side so you could always cinch it tighter at the sides. Or just remove if you prefer a looser, hipster cut.
