“April Showers Bring May Flowers”

This wonderful vintage sheath dress, dating to the 50s, features short raglan sleeves and sort of a modified sweetheart neckline that is accented with self-fabric bows.  It comes with a solid color, matching belt.  The closure is at the center back with a metal zipper and a metal hook and thread eye.  There is a thread loop at center front that helps hold the belt in place.

The pattern on the dress is kind of a mottled or abstract, two-tone blue and teal on a white ground with black umbrellas scattered all over – folded, open .. different shapes.  Very neat!

This dress is New Old Stock (NOS) and retains the original stock tag which lists the fabric content as being “All Acetate”.

In excellent, clean condition.
