About MeThis white sun dress has a striking red floral pattern.

Colourful floral patterns look joyful and were popular in the 1950s as a reaction against the austerity and suffering of the Second World War.

The ruched bodice with a zip down the back seam and the gathered skirt provide the hourglass silhouette fashionable in the 1950s.
More About Me
A lovely, light and colourful summer garment which would have helped to brighten up the dullness of Britain in the era of austerity following the ending of World War 2.
