Sooo beautiful, that' what they'll be saying when you past by.  This beautiful vintage fabric from the 1950's is a beautiful featherweight rayon faille in a wonderful watercolor type print in soft blues.  It reminds me of something Monet may have painted, all the beautiful gardens he immortalized on canvas.. It is washable for easy care.  The bodice is shirred with elastic for that lil girl all grown up look.  Wide straps tie around your neck for a secure no slip fit so you can dance the night away and not worry about your top slipping.  The ruffled bottom finishes this dress off nicely.

beautiful green random patchwork
tree poem dress  125.00

this item has been sold

I just love this beautiful dress.  It is so versatile.  You can wear it with or without a top underneath as the back is closed.  You can lace it loosely to wear with a top and lace it tightly for added support in the warmer months.  This top is darted and will accommodate up to a c-cup.  It will fit sizes extra-small to medium. It has been embroidered with green leaves around the top and back, (see alternate views.  I have used all quiet greens in this dress, colors such as sage, olive, moss, hunter including a soft mossy colored sparkly one.  This gives the dress an earthy persona.  It has two random patchwork panels, front and back, two side strip panels interspersed with corduroy.  I have used deep hunter green soft wide wale corduroy for the darted bodice and strips. The bodice is lined in a soft warm sage green flannel fabric.  The ruffle is composed of two different dark greens, one with a marbled effect.  I have added one large patchwork pocket with a tree and portion of a poem by Joyce Kilmer about trees.  It is also fully lined in flannel.  The bottom hem has a green corduroy hemband.

Bust: 30 inches fully closed-36 inches fully opened

I am so happy to offer this beautiful skirt set.  Sometimes simplicity is a good thing and for those of you who like your patchwork in small doses, this is a great set to start with.  I have used two different calico prints.  A beautiful dark brown, sage and apricot print paired with a sweet and simple sage green print.  The top is shirred at the top front with green embroidery floss.  I used the brown print for this.  The main bodice of the top is the sage green fabric.  It has an elastic shirred back which will accommodate sizes small through medium up to c-cup  and large a/b cup, as it if very full in the front and the back is completely open.    It has a sweet heart shaped fully lined pocket and is trimmed in a vintage hand crochet cream trim and brown shiny satin ribbon.  It has a patchwork ruffle for extra girly appeal.  The skirt is the solid brown print.  I have cut this in an exaggerated a-line for added swing at the bottom, less bulk at the top.  It has a matching patchwork ruffle and crochet and ribbon trim.  The waist adjust to fit with a sweet peach colored satin ribbon.  All in all this is a beautiful set.
