Size 4 Lolita Chic 1950s Resort Dress Set - Beads & Sequins Pink Paisley Cotton - Stage Worthy Tropical 50s Shell, Matching Jacket and Skirt
$ 229.99
Made in Mexico by a skilled artisan with a penchant for resort glamour! This 1950s dress set includes a sleeveless shell with short standing collar, a soft-tailored jacket with 3/4 sleeves & waist pockets, and a matching slim skirt with notched sides to the hem. All three pieces are specially seamed to showcase border prints and geometric patterned stripes, extravagantly trimmed in hand-sewn sequins and glass beads. Additionally there are hidden weights sewn into the hem of the jacket and shell, lending a substantial feel to them and creating more graceful movement. A beautiful late 50s ensemble, all pieces faced in muslin and finished by hand.

Washing Instructions
Cold hand wash, shape and dry flat, steam
Please note: All measurements (bust - waist - hip) are the maximum body measurements that will fit the item. These measurements already have ease subtracted and they are not actual fabric widths.
