- Mid Century Painterly Day Dress
- Size 18 - approximately a modern size 12 / XL, designed to fit tailored
- Shown displayed on my size large dress form, and it’s a bit roomy
- This 1950’s / 1960’s era vintage dress has a fit and flare hourglass silhouette. The fabric is a lightweight gauze type cotton, with a unique, watercolor style illustration as the print in shades of blues, teals, turquoise and accents of white.
- The silhouette is a portrait collar, with a tie on one side of the neck. It’s a fitted bodice, with darts at the bust. There’s a fitted shirt waist, with a pleated skirt, hitting at the knee. The skirt is semi full. There’s a metal zipper up the back, and a fabric belt.
- What makes this special: The fabric has almost a 50s / 60s Hawaiian flair, with its oversized blossoms.
- Tags: None - Size is printed on the belt
- Condition: Please see photos for the detail shot. There’s one areas where there’s some visible stitching at the bust, as the inside has been fused with a fabric patch as a repair. No other flaws or damages to note. Freshly washed and ready to wear.
