Style and Silhouette
-
Silhouette: Fit-and-Flare / A-Line Swing Dress. It is fitted closely through the bodice and waist, then flares out dramatically into a full skirt. This is a very characteristic style of 1950s fashion.
-
Length: Midi or Tea Length. The skirt ends well below the knee, likely mid-calf.
-
Neckline: Sweetheart Neckline. The top edge of the bodice dips to resemble the top half of a heart shape, which is flattering and offers a vintage look.
-
Shoulders/Straps: Halter Neck. Straps (or a single broad piece of fabric) tie or clasp behind the neck, leaving the shoulders and upper back bare.
-
Waistline: Defined, fitted natural waistline, emphasizing the contrast with the full skirt.
Fabric and Print
-
Base Color: Light Neutral (Cream or Pale Beige). This serves as a clean canvas for the vibrant print.
-
Print: Novelty Feather Print. A distinct, repeating pattern of individual feathers.
-
Feather Colors: Vibrant and contrasting (primarily Red, Bright Blue, and Yellow).
-
Accents: Small, red, berry-like clusters or dots scattered among the feathers.
-
-
Fabric (Likely): The material appears to be a medium-weight cotton sateen, poplin, or a quality blend with enough structure to hold the flare of the skirt without being stiff, suggesting a good drape and movement.
Construction Details
-
Bodice: Structured or Boned. The fitted look of the bust suggests internal structure or thick fabric/lining for support.
-
Skirt: Full, likely gathered or pleated softly at the waist to create volume.
-
Closure (Inferred): A typical 1950s-style dress of this type would have a hidden side or back zipper for a clean fit.
-
Sleeves: Sleeveless due to the halter style.
