The Meadowsweet

Meet Meadowsweet, she is a beautiful and romantic 1970s handmade cotton prairie dream. She has a gorgeous silhouette with an open neckline, sweet puff sleeves and a nipped in waist with flowing skirt. Her print is just gorgeous, with a combination of soft pink and brown florals on a white base. I love her square broderie anglaise detailing on her bodice, it truly is so unique and gorgeous, she is also crafted beautifully. Meadowsweet is one of those prairie dresses which sums Pansy up perfectly, and I can't wait to see how loved she is in her next chapter.

This girl measures to approx UK size 6/8.

Bust - 32"

Waist - 26"

Length -  52"

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

The Meadowsweet 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.
