Vintage Monet of London cottage core / prairie dress in floral and stripe pattern on a dark green ground.  Yoke bodice, piecrust tie neck with single button quarter front opening.  Long sleeves with button cuff, in-seam pockets, frill hem and lace faux underskirt / petticoat.  Believed to be 1970s, the care and construction label is faded but the fabric feels like cotton or at least high cotton content blend.  As there is no readable care information gentle handwashing is probably advisable.

 

Any items shown in the photographs but not featured in the title and/or description are for display purposes only and are not included in the sale.

 

Labelled size UK 12 but, as with all pre-owned clothing and particularly so with vintage clothing which can run smaller than modern sizes, please check the approximate measurements below and compare to something in your own wardrobe to ensure a comfortable fit.

 

Approximate measurements:

Nape to hem 52" / 132cm,

Shoulder to shoulder 15" / 38cm,

Pit to pit 22" / 56cm.

 

Condition:

Very good vintage condition with the only points to note being:

- some spot marking to the faux underskirt - see close up photograph 16,

- it's possible that the cuff buttons or the button at the front has been changed as they do not match, although it's also possible that the dress was made this way - compare close up photographs 9 and 10.

Please enlarge and examine the photographs and treat them as integral to the description and don't hesitate to ask any questions should you require clarification on any aspect of the description.

 

Please note that whilst I try to describe condition accurately, as with all pre-owned items there may be some minor imperfections such as light wear although I endeavour to detail any obvious faults.
