Get the Cyndi Lauper look in this original 50s vintage tutu style ballerina prom dress by John Selby of London.

The boned bodice is in iridescent purple with an overlayer of navy and gold polka dot net. It has purple shoulder straps and pleated front detail with six metallic décor buttons. Fitted to the waist with a full skirt of navy and gold polka dot net over purple interlayered with tulle. Metal back zip fastening.

There are a couple of tiny tears to the net which are only noticeable on close inspection and do not detract from the wearability of this darling dress which is well over 50 years old. It is a tiny size, which doesn't quite fit our mannequin, but is perfectly formed and we have estimated it as a contemporary UK6.
