ERA: Probably 2010s.

SIZE: 12.

BRAND: Vallen.

COLOUR: Pleasing cherries on a white background.

CONDITION: Good. Hand-washed and ready to wear.

FEATURES: Very short so could be worn as or cut to make a halter top. Plunging neckline could be made more modest, if desired, by pinning or wearing a white bandeau underneath.

COMPOSITION: Cotton blend.

LOOKS GOOD: As a top, with a long, high-waisted, hourglass pencil skirt.

Our review…A fun, summer dress or top. Lovely underbust seams. Cherries are an easy introduction to vintage dressing and this is a pretty pattern.
