Such a fab combination of colors makes up this adorable vintage early 50's Lucy style rockabilly shirtwaist dress with multi-colored stripes and pink accents.

The swingy dress almost has a two toned waitress look, and comprised of a cotton fabric with thin vertical stripes in lavender pink, teal blue, pale gray and charcoal, with pink collar and pink sleeve cuffs.
