1930s Pink and Blue Pansies Floral Striped Cotton Dress, 36in Bust

From the late 1930s, this quaint little cotton day dress has the most lovely floral print with little pansies nestled within a bold graphic stripe, so there is a little something for everyone! On a black background, the colours and print really pop and it has been made by a very clever seamstress who has used the fabric in contrasting directions to make the features stand out. The cut is modest and flattering, finished with the cute detailing of lace to the neckline and pockets. This would be wonderful worn with pink and blue accessories to pick out the hues in the print for a cheery fresh look for Summer.
