50s BLACK AND WHITE FLORAL EMBROIDERED FULL SKIRTED PARTY DRESS - XS Valentines there is a faint lineStriking thick stiff black 50s dress with white floral embroidery. Heavier weight in a firm crisp fabric, a woven slightly slubby cotton blend possibly? I'm stumped but it gives this a slightly more formal feel, and it holds the full skirt beautifully.
