This vintage 1950s day dress is loaded with feminine charm! The curvy fit bodice is very body conscious, with princess seaming plus vertical darts - an over-sized Peter Pan collar adds a sweet counterpoint. The dropped waist is piped with self-fabric and adds additional interest with its rounded curves. The flirty gathered skirt is very full, nearly a circle.
