Vintage 50s Day Dress Watercolor Print Pastels Penney's Brentwood Medium VFG

This vintage 1950s dress might be in the top 10 of my all-time favorite day dresses! The bust area is shaped with soft pleating along the shoulder seam and vertical darts at the waist. The bodice is styled with a vee-neck and cap sleeves with a jaunty triangular cuff anchored by big buttons. The four-gore skirt has lovely swing. There is a single inset side seam pocket on the right.
