{"product_id":"authentic-vintage-ice-blue-fit-and-flare-party-dress","title":"Authentic Vintage Ice Blue Fit and Flare Party Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt least 50 years young, this ice blue fit and flare dress is the kind of piece that makes you want to put on your best shoes and find somewhere wonderful to go. The colour is a soft, clear baby blue with a fine woven dot texture that catches the light with a gentle sheen. The bodice is carefully darted and seamed to create a close, considered fit through the bust and waist, finishing with a clean V neckline and broad shoulder straps. From the waist, the skirt releases into a full, sweeping circle that moves the way skirts from this era always did, with real volume and a life of its own. This is a dress that was made for dancing, and it shows. \u003cbr\u003eThe skirt has the kind of sweep that a dance floor demands, and the bodice is structured enough to hold everything in place while the skirt does exactly as it pleases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWear it to a garden wedding with strappy gold heeled sandals and pearl drop earrings. Try ivory kitten heels and a fine silver bracelet for a races day or a ball that feels genuinely special. For something more contemporary, pair it with white sneakers and a denim jacket for a styling contrast that feels fresh and considered. The ice blue of this dress works beautifully with rose gold jewellery, a bold fuchsia lip, or a clutch in deep emerald or coral. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis dress is made for a petite frame with a very small, defined waist and will look breathtaking on the right person.
