This dress should be a typical 50s dress. Such a dress was missing in my wardrobe until now.
The dress has a lovely swing making it a great dancing dress but when I chose the beautiful flower print I was instantly reminded of a summer picknick. :-)

Matching the dress I also made the Bag for the Picknick Dress ;-)

This pouch is made for the Summer Rose bustle dress. It is equally kitschy, but also equally sweet :-)

The downside is, that it is rather small for a handbag ;-)

All my kitsch-attacks have been concentrated to make this friendly coloured dress… and it is absolutely sweet :-)
The pattern belongs to the period of about 1873, the fabric and the embroidery could have come almost from that time as well.

The polonaise by itself is completed with a green skirt with the same embroidery as on the trimmings of the polonaise. The white petticoat with ther beautiful eyelet embroidery on the hemline and the flouncy embroidered cul-de-Paris are underneath.

The matching accessory are the Summer Rose Bag, the Summer Cameo Choker and the Butterfly Cameo Earrings.
