Early 1950s sun dress is a charming Asian floral print, with beehive shaped lanterns and calligraphic characters in a terrific novelty print. There are monochromatic florals and butterflies as well, so quaint in a feminine mid-century design. This dress is a simple one meant for housewife chores, with a scoop neckline, fitted waist seam, and A-line skirt.

Has black piping at the neck and armholes, with a narrow buckle-front black vinyl belt to match.
