summer dress

Primark, Manchester

Summary

Short summer party dress in dark ground cotton, tiny coloured floral sprigs on black; short cap sleeves; centre front opening with 4 black plastic domed buttons; slightly dropped waist with ra ra skirt and attached black net petticoat for fullness; woven label cb neck 'Atmosphere' and printed label on skirt with washing instructions etc. Purchased at the Primark store on Market Street, Manchester in July 2008 for £12 (full price). Model known as 'Ella'. These small floral sprig patterns were typical for summer dresses in 2008, and this dress was very similar to a printed shirt-dress designed by Luella, and worn by Kelly Osborne. This was the last dress of this design left on the rails.
