About the Item

This utterly charming dress was designed by Edward Abbott in the 1960s. Beautifully constructed, it is tailored from corded lace and silk chiffon in a soft, dusky pink. It features a fitted lace bodice with 3/4 length sleeves and double layer silk chiffon skirt with a broad pleated waistband. This gown is fully lined with a silk taffeta petticoat and fastens with a zip fastening at the centre reverse. This romantic dress would be a perfect choice for a summer party or wedding. This dress is in excellent vintage condition. Due to its age, it has no composition or size label so please check our measurements below carefully.
