This is the best rose print dress ensemble we've had in for some time and it is by British heritage brand California Cottons whose quality production values and desirable prints easily rivalled Horrockses fashions. The rose print is spectacular; in really exceptional pink tones and a vibrant green against a white background. The cotton still retains a very crisp and fresh appearance. This dress is fully lined in a thick muslin which provides some volume and shaping to the dress. The dress has the classic princess cut seams of the era and a delightful pink velvet banding around the bust line which is complimented by the central bow and nice square cut neckline. The dress possesses its original metal zip which is centre fastening, to the rear. This piece is in its original unaltered length too so there's plenty of options if you wish to shorten it. As an added bonus, the matching pink bolero jacket comes with the dress and is a wonderful bright vibrant shade of cerise pink. The rose print fabric is used to line the bodice element of the jacket which boasts a high neck collar that is not creased. The dress is wonderfully shaped with dolman sleeves. Condition wise this piece is extraordinary for a dress that is approaching 70 years old. There are no faults of any note. This dress will fit up to a UK10 or US 6.
