Violet Valentine by Oasis

The 'Violet Valentine' dress captures the feel of 1950’s daywear in all its glory.
In the early 1950s rationing had come to an end. There was a renewed optimism among the stylish set. Sunny cheerfulness was in the air and vibrant cotton satin prints were rich with the promise of greater exuberance in life.
Violet Valentine from Oasis is a delightful strappy sundress. It is adorned with sweet violets in sugared shades, through a soft floral border print with graduated small blossoms to larger full blooms.
Violet Valentine is gathered at the waist so that the full skirt falls just below the knee. When worn with layers of petticoats and matching tie belt it creates an exaggerated hourglass figure.
