This incredible 1950's navy blue crepe silk dress, with small damson purple silk button details is the perfect addition to your timeless wardrobe.

The rounded neckline is framed by a statement Peter Pan collar and a simple shoulder line. The 3/4 lengths sleeves frame the fitted bodice which is accented by two parallel lines of decorative small damson purple silk buttons that run from the neckline through to the hemline bordering a central pleat. The cinched in waistline, sets off the straight skirt line which boasts 3 pleats to each side which in turn frame the elegant button details down the middle of the dress.
