This dress is a classic 1950s-inspired fit-and-flare silhouette, designed to celebrate curves with a beautifully structured bodice and a full, swishable skirt. The semi sweetheart neckline and wide straps give it that timeless mid-century elegance, while the nipped-in waist creates that coveted hourglass shape.
The print is pure romance — oversized protea blooms in soft blush and coral tones, layered with minty-teal foliage and warm golden accents against a creamy backdrop. It’s bold without being loud, and feminine without being fussy. Basically: garden party perfection.
Practical magic included:
- True to size for an easy, reliable fit
- Discreet side invisible zip for a smooth finish
- Hidden pockets (because we will never not love pockets)
The full skirt pairs beautifully with a petticoat for added vintage drama, or can be worn on its own for a softer silhouette. Perfect for weddings, brunch dates, markets, or simply twirling through your day feeling fabulous.
A timeless piece with just the right amount of statement — the kind of dress that turns heads and starts conversations.

Very nice dress!
Such a beautiful dress :))
What a beautiful dress among so many, easy for me to choose as the Protea is the flower of South Africa. The fit is perfect and the ability to add perfectly matched accessories is any woman's dream.
I could spend hours in such a wonderful shop with very knowledgeable staff.
Of all the beautiful dresses I have bought from Pocket Watch & Petticoats, this is probably the most flattering print of all. I absolutely love it.
Fits like a dream :-) I love it!
