Vintage 1950s Cream Midi Dress with Daisy Mesh Yoke — Family Heirloom
A truly special piece with history — this cream midi dress has been in one family since the 1950s. Originally made for the mother and later worn by her daughter, who famously jumped into a swimming pool at a party while wearing it. The dress carries its story in the form of an orange stain and a few small mesh flaws — but remains utterly charming and wearable.
