Size 8 Lilly Style Sun Dress - 1960s Sleeveless Empire Waist Summer Gown with Daisy Lace - Pretty Pink & White 60s Floral Cotton - Bust 35

1960s sleeveless summer dress in gracefully femme pink floral, made in the late 60s with a winsome Lilly appeal. It's an Empire gown with a bateau neckline and daisy lace to the raised waist. The lace is long in back, so long it can be tied as shown (or wear as long tails, or cut it and use on accessories). This ankle-length summer gown has a broad A-line silhouette and soft linings.
