Easter is past (for another year) but Spring isn’t over yet and tomorrow is May Day. Although it might not be a day for teas or luncheons or other events which call for a dressy frock, it is still celebrated in some places. If you know about any May Day celebrations, I’d like to hear!
Shown over a slip, this dress is made of a semi-sheer cotton (maybe a blend) in a blue and violet floral print. It has a vintage nylon zipper mid-back. The skirt length is mid-calf to ankle, depending on the height of the woman wearing it. The gathered bodice and high waist (again, depending on the wearer) are so pretty.
Not quite semi-formal – just a pretty frock for a special occasion. I was so thrilled to find it! Someone kept it for many years. It’s always important to have at least one of these in your closet, because you just never know what invitations might be coming. . . . . . .
