Vintage 1950s Blue Butterfly Print Cotton Cocktail Dress with Matching Belt - XS
This darling 1950s blue butterfly cotton dress is perfect for springtime soirees and garden parties alike, and can be dressed down for everday wear. It features:
• Stunning abstract butterfly print in shades of blue, teal and black

• Back metal zip closure with hook & eye
• Lined at bodice only

• No manufacturer labels
• Based on the style and construction, I estimate this piece dates to the 1950s
• Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold
• This item has been hand washed
Very good vintage condition.
This item would best fit a modern size XS to S, but please refer to measurements:
• 18.5" across chest (fits up to 37" chest)
• 15" across under bust
• 13" across waist (fits up to 26" waist)
• Belt fits 24"–26.5" waist
• Open hips
• 17" bodice length (straps can be shortened; there is approx. 2" seam allowance on each to lengthen)
• 40" total length (+2.25" seam allowance at hem)
All measurements are taken flat in inches. When considering fit, compare it to a garment you own that fits well. For chest, waist and hip measurements, double it to get the full circumference.
Modeled on a size S (4-6) petite (5'3"), measurements 34" x 28" x 38"
Fit notes: This dress fit the model perfectly if a bit tight at the waist.
All items are vintage and pre-loved. All major flaws are listed, but small blemishes may not be in the item description as they are to be expected when purchasing vintage items.
We do not accept returns unless you believe an item was misrepresented in our shop. Please feel welcome to ask any questions!
