Stunning cocktail dress from the late 50s-early 60s! Lightweight cotton for spring or summer, and also the perfect color for the holidays🌲
DETAILS: - Bright forest green cotton voile (shows up blue in some closeups, but it's actually green) - Fully lined with matching cotton - Ruched waist - Full pleated skirt - Gathered V-neck - Flutter sleeves - Closes in back with metal zipper - Hooks & eyes at waist and collar (left open in photos since I couldn't reach around to close them) - I believe the dress is meant to be worn on-shoulder, however I show how it looks off-shoulder as well - Large hem at bottom, so skirt could be lengthened if desired - Please note the crinoline and gloves aren't included - dress is shown without these in last 4 modeled photos 😺

There are minor pinholes/tiny marks scattered throughout the fabric. I noticed a run on the bodice and a small tear on the skirt just below the waist. There's a hand repair of the stitching holding the zipper, which doesn't show on the outside. See last photo. Garment has been washed and is ready to wear.
