1950s Cotton Summer Dress, Vintage Fit and Flare, Size Small

I don't know if there is anything better than a great 50s cotton fit and flare and this one is so cute!  Love the print and colours, so unique and in great condition as well.  The details are really pretty too, black velvet straps and velvet bows with big sparkly rhinestones in black buttons as accents.  The bodice has a seam just under the bust and there are both darts under the arm and another set that come up from the waist.  There is a metal zipper at the side and belt loops that to hold the matching belt that is in very good condition!  The dress is unlined - we have shown it with a very light crinoline slip except the last photo which shows the dress without anything underneath.  The dress tag says size 12 but be sure to read the measurements below as a 1950s size 12 is pretty teeny.   Maker's tag is "Blanes".  

The dress has been cleaned and pressed and is ready to wear.  Please do not hesitate to
