To make sure something will fit, take measurements from a piece of clothing that fits you well and use those measurements to compare. If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room.

Label- Toni Todd. Vintage size 12

Closes with back metal zipper

Fabric is a rayon and dacron polyester blend. A blue/green and grey plaid. If this dress did not have its content label, I might think this dress was cotton. it feels like cotton. The fabric is a medium lightweight. This dress is unlined except for the top front chest area which is lined in a nylon acetate. You might want to wear a slip because this skirt will be semi sheer in the sun. The buttons and pocket flaps are decorative only. This dress does not have pockets.

Condition

No stains, holes, or tears. Unworn. New old stock with original tags.

What Diane Likes About This Dress

Toni Todd was not a real person.  That name was the label used for R & M Kaufman manufacturing, out of Illinois. Interestingly enough, this company also used the junior label Vicki Vaughn. I have always liked the Toni Todd label. They made fashionable and affordable dresses for the everyday woman. I like these kind of necklines that were made specifically to be worn with a multi strand of beads or pearls. In the late 50s or early 60s, a dress like this would be accessorized with gloves, pumps, and a handbag. Perhaps even a hat. I like that styling very much. But this dress can also be worn much more casually if you prefer. Perhaps with a sweater and flats. it is a fun and comfortable dress.

"Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are,
what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live."   Gianni Versace

"Fashions fade, style is eternal."  Yves Saint Laurent

This dress can ship ground advantage or priority mail. Both options are offered.

I am always happy to combine shipping.

I have a large amount of vintage clothing and am always adding new pieces.
