About MeThis romantic full-length gown is characteristic of the debutante-style which was
popular throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. Fuschia pink flowers are printed over white net and the fitted bodice and voluminous skirt draw attention to the small waist. It is likely that this dress would have been worn to a ball or dance.
