easy way about it and it in a larger size which is bonus

This detailing is on both the front and back

I love the over-sized short and the double layer at the skirt hem

I love the yoke front and the full skirt that lands just above the knee

1970s Thea Porter White Embroidered Muslin Butterfly Applique Dress designer-joy-stevens easy way about it andThis is an incredible Thea Porter dress that is absolutely beautiful. When it came to me it was a grubby, dirty cream but once it was properly cleaned I was thrilled to see it in its original crisp white once again. Thea did make wedding dresses and this may have been intended for that use originally. It can be worn for just about any occasion given its cut and lines but would also make a beautiful choice for the bride who wants something different.
