Emerald Rose Print Cotton Dress 1950s

Sometimes, a garment captures the very essence of a season. At least 70 years young, this authentic vintage dress is a masterclass in mid-century vibrancy. Crafted from crisp cotton sateen with a subtle sheen, the print is a joyful garden of red, pink, and blue roses set against a mottled emerald background.

The silhouette is the quintessential 'New Look' shape. A fitted bodice and wide portrait collar nip in at the waist before releasing into a full, pleated skirt. It is a structural dream for many shapes. The open neckline serves to balance a fuller bust or shoulders, while the generous skirt skims effortlessly over the hips and thighs to highlight the waist without clinging.

Add your own belt for for further definition as pictured. Pair with slides for a casual day look, or add a petticoat (pictured with and without) and red lip for evening drama. This is sustainable style at its most spirited. It is a piece of history proving quality and character never fade.
