This is a beautiful 1950s-style day dress which Betty Draper would be proud of!

The Free Spirit has a circle skirt (can be worn with or without a petticoat) and comes with a red glittery belt (the glitter is sealed so it won't leave a trail). It's double breasted and fastens at the front with two rows of four buttons: being double-breasted, it fits almost like a wrap dress so your modesty is protected. The fabric is reproduction vintage: marbled yellow with red and blue paisley.

Sizes S to 26 in stock (except XL, XXL & XXXL sold out). Please check the size chart. This is a different size chart from Bettie Page Clothing, so please check before you order. I've left UK equivalent sizes off the chart though because it's really important that you measure yourself and compare the results to the chart to ensure you get the right size. Please note that the numbered sizes on the chart are NOT UK sizes

The fabric doesn't stretch but the cross-over bust means that there is room to accomodate the larger-of-chest. Should you be smaller-of-chest, a discreet safety pin will come to your aid.

The "Gossip Girl" dress: This dress is proving popular as it was worn by an actress on US tv programme Gossip Girl (I haven't seen it myself but I think it's like a cross between The OC and Sex & The City). Please note that in Gossip Girl, she'd had the dress shortened. I can't do that for you, but most dry cleaners (or helpful grannies) offer alterations so they might be able to help you.

The Accountant is made from red/black plaid with a satin finish and 4-way stretch. It has 4 functioning buttons and a belt. Three-quarter length sleeves and full skirt. There is also a side-zip.
