{"product_id":"palm-island-fashions-1950s-magenta-rose-print-cotton-fit-and-flare-dress-vip","title":"Palm Island Fashions 1950s Magenta Rose Print Cotton Fit And Flare Dress 'VIP'","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis highly collectable dress is made with a genuinely special fabric in a deep berry shifting through rose and plum in diagonal sweeps, as though watercolour was pulled across the cloth before the roses were placed. And then the roses themselves: loose, blooms in powder blue, ice grey and white with vivid green foliage, scattered across the skirt and bodice with just the right amount of  breathing room between each one. The Palm Island Fashions label places this firmly in the 1950s, a registered Australian label with a good regional following. The fabric is soft and loved in a light cotton that moves beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bodice is fitted with darts through the chest and a neat waist seam, and the skirt opens into a generous full circle that swings from the hip with every step. A portrait neckline with folded collar detail frames the collarbone and draws the eye upward, making this a particularly flattering choice for anyone who wants volume through the skirt balanced by clean structure above. Side zip. Wear it as it is with kitten heels and a clutch, or add a simple belt for a secure cinching at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKeen to try on?

They worked with quality printed cottons and understood a good silhouette, sitting comfortably in the better end of the ready-to-wear market at a time when Australian women's fashion was finding its own confident voice. Pieces carrying the Palm Island Fashions (Reg.) label are not easy to find in this condition, and collectors of mid-century Australian fashion know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: For best fit, we recommend comparing measurements with a similar garment you already love.
