27 Vintage Dresses of February #27

Last, but by no means least, this 1950's party dress features pink roses on the skirt. It is available from VFG member BebopaDiva Vintage.

Feel like a starlet...or a blushing bride...in this frothy little party dress with its stunning floral details.

The dress is made of sheer organza in a warm white, lined in matching satin. The top has a curvy princess fit, with spaghetti straps and layers of pleating at the top to make the most of your girls. The front has stays to keep everything in place and the straps are completely adjustable.

The full skirt falls from a nipped waist in two swirly flared panels in the lining, with two organza layers over that, one cut on the diagonal. A lush 3-D swag of hot pink roses cascades from the upper left to the lower right along that layer. The flowers are made of velvety petals, with wire-backed leaves and brown satin stems. The dress has an attached inner tulle crinoline, so unless you like them really fluffy, you shouldn't need anything else.
