1960s Gina Fratini Lace Trimmed Sleeves w Floral Print Maxi Dress designer-balenciaga Waist: to 14This is a very sweet maxi dress that heavily utilizes and references back to the Victorian era that Fratini so loved and often used in her designs. The fabric that she chose to use for this dress is a crisp polished cotton that is covered with a bright and vivid floral design. I love the little purple velvet ribbons that highlight the waist and edges. That same velvet is used to adorn each sleeves just above two bands of a pretty cotton cut out lace.
