Karen Alexander Raspberry Tea Dress L

We adore a rayon crepe tea dress, and Karen Alexander pieces too, so this is a match made in vintage heaven. She's a 1930s inspired style with a tiny wheat and spearmint toned flower print on a muted raspberry pink base. Femme cut featuring pretty gathering along the shoulder and puffed tie sleeves, matching sash belt, ultra swishy hemline and best of all - those sweet etched flower shell buttons down the front and on the single chest pocket. By label Karen Alexander for Chelsea, circa 1980s.
