About MeGirl's pale blue floral print taffeta fancy dress with tight fitted bodice, full wide skirt and cream net trim around the neckline.This beautiful dress is in a mock 18th century style but was made in the 1930s and was worn by the donors' mother when she was a child. Interestingly a cut down Edwardian night-gown has been used as a lacy petticoat underneath to give the skirt fullness.
