1950s Pure Cotton Dress
This 1950s candy pink cotton dress is just adorable. Originally intended as nightwear or an underslip, it also works beautifully as a lightweight summer dress. It has a short, easy-to-wear silhouette with a square neckline, lace trim, and floral embroidery at the bust. The colour has been difficult to capture in photographs, but it's a true sugary candy floss pink — the last two photos are the closest representation. No labels.
