A classic pinup 1950s style flared summer dress by vintage repro designers Collectif clothing.

The stunning Violet Anchor dress is crafted from lined chiffon in a to-die-for vintage style fit n flare cut that that defines curves for a killer 1940s - 1950s victory look. The collared bodice fastens to the front with pearly dome buttons, and features a concealed zip fastening to the side. The waist is defined with a matching fabric belt.

The retro style fit is trim through the bodice, with a wonderfully flared skirt. The fit of the flared skirt means that it looks fabulous both with and without a petticoat. This dress does not include a petticoat, however a full range can be purchased separately in our shop. We recommend a 28 inch petticoat to achieve an authentic swing silhouette.

Collectif dresses promise you a classic vintage style investment that will forever remain in fashion, and we can assure you that this is timeless classic from Collectif clothing that you'll want to wear again and again.
