Roomy, gorgeous and ready for baby. Made of a very lightweight white linen, this beautiful dress is embellished with hand small vertical tucks and embroidered detailing in robins egg blue. The rounded collar and short puffed sleeves are probably cotton in the same contrasting color as the embroidery. At the center back is a 2 button closure. It shows literally no wear whatsoever. Measurements are as follows...
Chest: 23"
Shoulder to shoulder: 8.5"
Sleeve openings: 6"
Shoulder to hem: 14.5"
Skirt circumference: 38"
The tag only specifies that it is handmade but it no doubt came from the Philippines in the early 50's when these were the rage. Adorable and very strong. Most were usually white on white so it's quite rare to find one made in contrasting colors.
Hand cleaned, air dried and pressed. c. 1950 excellent condition
