-   We adore this beautiful 50s purple dress. Not only does it hark back to the halcyon days of Hollywood, it has exactly the right retro feel that is so difficult to get right with reproduction vintage designs.
    
    ## Exclusive 1950s Dress & Print Design
    
    The print is designed by us so is exclusive to What Katie Did. The purple colour has been chosen to match the tone of our purple seamed stockings although it would also look fabulous when worn with our plain black or contrast black seamed nylons. Wear with our black cotton Jayne cardigan for a year-round outfit.
    
-   Our Thomasina 50s dress is designed to fit your waist snugly to show off your curves. The waist is a little smaller than some of our other clothing styles, matching the waistline of our Rita and Minnie dresses. Please check your waist measurement on our sizing page before ordering.
    
    This dress has a metal YKK zip opening at the back and measures 29” (74cm) waist to hemline measurement (size UK 12 / US 8).
    
    It’s made ethically in our main factory in India from 100% cotton.
    

  

_Note, your measurements should be slightly smaller than the actual measurements to allow for movement! This dress is designed to be worn a little looser than our other styles, but can be worn very fitted should you desire._

The soft blush background is brought to life with striking crimson florals and subtle green accents, echoing the colour palettes found in original 1950s prints. The design feels both delicate and bold, perfect for those who love vintage-inspired pieces with a little more presence.

The bodice is neatly tailored to follow the shape of the waist before releasing into a full pleated skirt that moves beautifully as you walk. Carefully structured pleats create volume without bulk, while a flat front panel keeps the silhouette smooth and flattering. An elegant V-neckline with a subtle Asian influence and short cap sleeves add to the dress’s refined, mid-century feel.

Made from crisp yet breathable 100% cotton, this Pink Floral 1950s Dress is designed for comfort as well as style. A traditional metal YKK zip provides an authentic finishing touch, and each piece is produced in our trusted Indian factory, ensuring both quality craftsmanship and responsible manufacturing.
