About MeGirl's blue, lilac and pink floral manmade dress with matching sash and stole.

This stunning outfit displays the full skirt with stiffened underskirts and tight fitting bodice reflecting the 'New Look' of the 1950s. The exuberant colours and lively pattern would be perfect for a teenage girl going to her first dance.
More About Me
There can be no finer example of post-war optimism than this 1950s party dress. It screams energy and the "new look", as the world looks to a brighter future. Superb!
