Summer Green newest and White Dot Sheer Vintage 50s Dress & Jacket Set M

This adorable vintage 50s dress set will be your summertime favorite!
The two tones of mint, light and dark, play in loosely squiggled polka dot formation with mellow white. The fabric is see-through sheer on both pieces, so be prepared to wear it over a full slip, or at least your best under-things.

The sleeveless dress has wide shoulders and a simple V neckline, with darts both front and back to fit your curves. The waist is set with spaced out double box pleats all around, which fall out gracefully to the hem. It likely had a matching belt, though it is long lost. Customize the look with one from your own collection.
The jacket has a nipped waist with a slight peplum flare, and a rounded collar with tabs for fashioning to a necktie.

As stated, the fabric is quite sheer. You can see the mannequin's bra through the fabric in the dress photos. Any undergarments in contrast to your skin tone will show through, and their coloring will affect the color of the dress when worn.
