Meet Crabapple, she is a beautiful handmade 1970s romantic cotton prairie beauty. She has a gorgeous silhouette, with a square neckline, sweet puff sleeves, high empire waist and a gorgeous full skirt. She has a cream base tone with a beautiful pinky toned scattered floral print. Crabapple is one of those relaxed and very wearable prairie dresses that will always look gorgeous, she is eternally beautiful and truly stylish. 

This girl measures to approx UK size 8/10.

Bust - up to 36"

Waist - 30" - can be cinched with side ties

Length -  56"

 For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6. 

The Crabapple has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a cool setting. She is in good vintage condition, she has a few minor signs of wear. She has been handmade and does have some more amatuer sewing in places, but she is still beautiful and wearable.

This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.

Here at Pansy we know vintage sizes are very different from modern sizes, and we pride ourselves on offering accurate measurements with approximate modern UK sizing to ensure a your Pansy purchases will be a good fit.
Although we do offer approx modern sizing it is also very helpful if you know your own measurements. If you are unsure of these, an easy way of estimating them is measuring one of your own garments, that fits well, laid flat. Measure in inches, across from pit to pit, flat across the waist and double both of these measurements.  Our length measurements are mostly taken from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
