About MeMachine embroidered glazed cotton dress with sweetheart neckline and very full skirt.

This dress is a perfect example of how extreme the crinoline-style skirt of the 1950s became.

A dress like this may have been worn during the day with a simple cardigan or in the evening with long gloves and complementary pearls or diamanté jewellery.
