Super cute flower power dress from the 1960s with a blue and white gingham pattern and a lovely romantic fantasy silhouette. Fitted square neck bodice that flares out into a tulip-shaped a-line skirt. Look at those adorable details: white trim with red daisies, contrasting gingham fabric at the waist, sleeve, and skirt panel, red ric rac, and flattering flutter sleeves. Almost certainly homemade the design looks quintessentially 60s to me. I believe it is a cotton blend---super soft, very lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. So sweet, would make a great festival dress.
Please see photos for measurements. Compare these measurements to a similar garment that fits you well in order to determine if the item will work for you.
FLAWS NOTED: The only notable flaw is a popped seam at the bust, which creates a hole that is roughly 1.75\" long. This is pictured twice, once with the hole gently pulled apart to make it more clear, and once with a red arrow beneath to show the approximate length.
FIT NOTES: While the pit to pit measurement is 17\" there is darting in the bodice which allows for a bit of wiggle room in regard to the bust sizes this dress will fit. My mannequin has a 34\" bust and I think it fit her well; I believe this dress would look best on bust sizes from 34\"-36\".
Additionally, please note the slightly short bodice length---it is not an empire waist, but the middle of the wide waistband sits about 1\"-2\" higher than the average dress. Because of this I believe it is more suited to someone with petite proportions (that is, a shorter torso); it will still look good on taller individuals, just be mindful that it might not hit quite at the natural waist if you have a longer torso. I am 5\'2\" and the waist is perfect, the dress waistband sits right at my natural waist.
Please purchase carefully and with intention; I am not a professional seller/flipper, everything I have listed is part of my personal vintage collection. I am not Amazon, I cannot afford to have items shuttled back and forth in an endless loop of returns. I loved these clothes and I want the individual who buys them to love them too!
I DO NOT TAKE RETURNS for fit or condition, all items are sold AS-IS. If you are not comfortable with this please do not purchase from me. Please recognize that no vintage item will be perfect, small flaws are likely to be present---by purchasing vintage the buyer accepts this fact. These clothes will have had a long life before coming to you. I will however note any major flaws (holes, stains, etc.) on the listing if necessary.
I take care to describe each item throughly with words and pictures, but I\'m also happy to answer any questions or provide more photographs/measurements in order to help you decide if the item is right for you. Please ask a question if you have one! An informed buyer is happy one in my experience.
All items are hand-washed in hypoallergenic unscented detergent, air-dried, and steam sanitized before shipping. No scented products of any kind (including moth balls,perfume,dryer sheets, room deodorizers, etc.) are used in my home. However, vintage items very rarely smell completely neutral, the clothes have been in storage and I live in an old house, any of which might impart its own lightly perceptible scent even after laundering.
This item comes from my personal vintage collection, which I have amassed over the course of the last 12 years or so. I will be listing many more items from this collection, as I am attempting to downsize. They are all roughly the same size, so if this item corresponds with your personal size and/or style you might be interested in other things that I have posted :)
