1950s Mocha Day Dress with Pleated Skirt Details, Size XS
love the classic styling of this dress with its blouson top and tailored skirt with pleat details. The waist is pretty tiny, just 25" so even though the bodice is made to fit loose, you need a little waist to fit into her (or maybe wear a cincher). The fabric is a silk look with a slight texture and shimmer like silk. It is a beautifully made dress with expert finishing but I do not see a label. The 6 inverted pleats are an especially lovely tailored detail and have great movement when you walk. There is a metal zipper at the back neckline and there is a side coil zipper which I assume is a replacement zipper, perhaps put in as a longer version to make it easier to get in and out of the dress. There is acetate lining in the skirt but no lining in the bodice. It's a great dress and would be easy to style with a blazer or sweater.
It's in great condition, no stains, and newly dry-cleaned. The only flaw is that the covering on the belt buckle is worn and is coming off. I would just replace the buckle (not hard to do) or perhaps use another belt in its place.
Please be sure to read the measurements below and compare them with your own measurements to ensure a good fit. These are the measurements of the dress laying flat and you will need to be a little small in order to get into the dress and have a little room to move.
