***Two photos show the 2 errant spots on the yellow background on dress back at right side. They seem to match the spots inside at a seam (see the 3 photos in a row), so the spots may be from the original "paint" job.

Pepi was introduced to the US market in the mid 60s where her original dresses were sold at upscale department stores and boutiques.

Wash only, no dry clean.

Made in Greece.
