This timeless vintage shirtwaist style dress is at least 50 years young and in outstanding condition. Notable features include intricate tailoring, neckline detailing and remarkable construction from bygone eras. Featuring the original belt, choose to cinch at the front or doubled around at the rear for a more streamlined look. Wear the tie at the neckline open or, tied in a bow to create individual and unique looks. Why not secure with one of our Painted Bird brooches for an eclectic twist!

The design and cut are perfect for long-term wear, with a flattering fit and the versatility to be dressed up or down. An advantageous choice year-round, equally suited to sandals in summer and boots in winter.
