1950s Riddella Green Blue and Pink Floral Cotton Dress
This beautiful 1950s or early 1960s cotton dress was designed by Riddella. The print is lovely; an abstract floral print in green blue and pink, it is vivacious and versatile and a great choice for the summer. It features princess seams on the bodice with green piping and bow details at the waist, which is slightly dropped. There is a half belt in matching fabric stitched into the seams on either side, which fastens with a buckle at the reverse to draw in the waist. There is also a central zip fastening at the back.
In excellent vintage condition. Due to its age, there are no size or composition labels so please check the below measurements closely. We believe this pretty dress would best suit up to US size 8, UK size 12.
