The Mauve

Meet Mauve, she is a gorgeous cotton prairie sundress dream in a beautiful rich browny purple shade. I LOVE Mauve, anything with shirring, ticks every box for me! She has a most lovely shirred bodice which screams super comfortable and flattering, a beautiful tiered flowing skirt and tie straps at her shoulders. Her print is gorgeous, with an unusual scattered oriental style floral motif. If Mauve fit me, she wouldn't be here, so I really do hope she finds the best home today!

This girl is quite flexible in size due to the stretch in her shirring. She would work best on UK sizes 6/8/10 small 12.

Bust - up to 36"

Waist - up to 32"

Length -  52.5"

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

The Mauve 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.

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.
