This dress is a real vintage gem, with finishing and details you won't find today, at any price. How often do you see a 4" hem on a modern dress? From the estate of Dorothy E., a woman with some truly fabulous clothes.
Note that this dress coordinates perfectly with Dorothy's mocha crinoline, which was likely made to go with it. Contact us if you'd like both items. We're happy to offer the set at a discount.
