Item Description:

This fabulous White/Black soft cotton print halter dress is from the 50s'/60s and in FABULOUS condition and I've had it in my collection forever! It features its original black skinny halter tie that 'buttons' on to the front (and can be removed). My photo shows a 'pin' holding one side to the garment, but I've repaired it with another button, so the pin is gone.

The bust/corset area is 'boned' meaning it has numerous metal inserts for your bosom area to fit snugly and a dainty black collar to show off your decolletage with a pretty necklace or sparkling powder. No size or fabric content on this item, but the fabric appears to be 100% light/airy cotton in a pretty white/black 'plaid' with brown/beige rectangle accents.


The metal zipper in the back works fine and the skirt has lots of gathers so it will fan out with dancing, or walking on the beach. Please note the fabric is rather sheer, meaning you will need a slip or flesh-colored bra/panty/bodysuit to avoid peek-a-boo moments. 


Item Condition:

From a non-smoking home, this one-of-a-kind dress has no stains, rot, holes, odors (perfume) and is really in fantastic condition for its age. 


Size/Measurements:

Adult Small (4 or 6 possibly) 

Waist 13.5 (one side)

Bust 17 (one side)

Bust area to hemline front 38.5

skirt may be longer in the back than in the front

Item will need a STEAMING due to being sent in a small package and will wrinkle!


Most items are sent USPS Priority Mail for the weight and quickness of shipments. Items that don’t fit inside USPS Priority or First Class are also sent UPS. 

Items shipping out UPS will be sent out within 4 days (handling) due to them going through a 3rd party. Please note: I try and REUSE packaging I receive and send items back to my customers...as to not clutter the planet with MORE plastic product!


I don’t ‘pad/profit’ from inflated shipping costs as I want POSITIVE FEEDBACK on my fair shipping costs.  


Please watch your 'buyers dashboard' for the 'just shipped' icon-I don't email each customer when I send items out.


Please contact me BEFORE leaving neutral or negative feedback so I can attempt to remedy any situation you may have with my items. Although I'm an individual and don't normally make refunds, sometimes the items I examine do have flaws that my customers unfortunately find. I try to make things right if you bring them to my attention. I am quite REASONABLE if you communicate.


SHOP CAREFULLY!!!! I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS unless there is a flaw that is undiscovered or I didn't mention.

Another note of interest: Wondering about my Ebay 'handle'? Don't be scared!

It is a combination of my last name (kahn) and artist...as I was a Graphic Artist in Advertising over 20 years. The moniker 'kahnartist' got chuckles due to the very clever play on words. If I was a 'con artist'...I would not have a 5-star rating AND 100% feedback from my customers.


Thank you for your purchase/business.
