Description: Ladylike Spring Dress Size 14 - approximately a modern size L / 14, designed to fit blouson style. Shown displayed on my size large dress form, and it’s a bit large, but the cinched belt makes it work. This 1980’s / 1990’s dress is inspired by the looks from the 30s & 40s, as the style of the print has an art nouveau watercolor look, in a soft shade of mint green with accents of soft lavender, violet and plum shaded oversized blooms of daffodils and daisies. On the bodice, there’s contrasting color block white sleeves, accenting the button up neckline and shoulder pads to complement the pleated short sleeves. At the neckline, there’s both pearlized white buttons at the top, with art deco inspired chunky faux pearl and gold accent buttons down the front, for a classic shirt dress look. The waistline is accented with a wide belt, perfect for accenting the straight silhouette skirt. What makes this special: Even the fabric has a 1930s - 1940s feel to it, as this is an acetate / rayon blend. Outfit idea: The perfect Kentucky Derby look - this would be a great look to accent with a classic tilt hat. Tags: “Ms. Basia California” - Madę in the USA Condition: A few flaws to note: There’s one scruff on the sleeve, which I have highlighted with a circle in photos. Also, as shown, there’s a small amount of tiny rust spots from storage, very faint and hidden with the print. I have hand washed this piece, and ironed it, but a trip to a professional dry cleaner may remove the last of the very slight stains and yellowing on the white parts. No other flaws or damages to note. Ready to wear! Measurements: please compare to your best fitting items at home to ensure a good fit!
