Stunning original vintage 50s dress by Doris Dodson. New Look styling with fitted bodice that flares out to wide skirt.

Condition Near mint showing no signs of wear. Red lining was torn a little by zip so has a mend
Size SMALL (approx AU6-8)
Please check measurements as the waist measurements were very small and the girls shorter in the 1950s. Measurements are measured flat on dress so please remember to allow room to move. It is always a good idea to check measurements against a dress that you know fits
