60s Vintage Girls Dress Size 14-16 White Lace Dress retailer Vintage Flower Girl Dress Lace Overlay XXS Bell Sleeve Dress

Beautifully made white lace dress with a very straight silhouette. It's created from a large floral chantilly lace fabric with an attached underslip of acetate. The sleeves are sheer lace with a lovely bell shape!

We believe that this was a store bought dress that was taken in to fit a smaller body. Perhaps a mother's dress altered for a daughter's first communion dress? Could be for a floral girl or other white dress ceremony?

The sizing in unusual, so please read carefully, we really hope to re-unite this dress with a new wearer!

MEASUREMENTS (inches/cm)
*Measurements are taken flat and doubled when appropriate. Please allow for a 1/2 to 2-inch inch variance, or better yet, compare with a similar fitting garment. For reference, Matilda is a 37/94 bust, 27/69 waist & 37/94 hip, sort of a busty, slim-hipped US size 6 & this dress will not fit her, because it is a very slim cut.*
