Vintage 1950s dress is a gem, a really striking piece with unusual motif. The bodice is black, and has a trim of Chinese characters. The bust is darted and the waist is nipped, the sleeves are half length. The skirt is a full circle, and a features a beautiful repeating pattern that starts with roses, then climbing leaves, then herons, then peacocks. This beauty closes on the side with a sturdy metal zipper.

This dress is clean and ready to wear. It has been worn and washed in the past, and the print seems to be less saturated than it might have been originally (although it might also just be the contrast with the jet black bodice - perhaps it was never that black. I can't be sure. There is also some yellowing on the collar. I find nothing else to note!
