What a flattering little summer dress this vintage 1970s cutie is! Great retro print with a very cool border-like effect transitioning from small scattered beige flowers on dominant purple background into larger closely packed flowers dominating the less noticed background. On the full swingy skirt, there is a wide "scoop" of the lighter print in the front near the hem. The cap sleeved bodice uses the lighter print for one side - the light and dark sides wrap across each other, front and back, creating deep vee plunges. The darker side has long self fabric sashes that wrap across the waist and tie together.

SIZE: Labeled size 9

FABRIC/COLORS: Lightweight and crepey, feels like rayon, floral print of carnations in eggplant purple and pinkish beige.

TAGS: No maker’s tag, has an ILGWU tag and dry clean only

CLOSURES: Slips on over head, elasticized waist

CONDITION: Very good. I don't see any stains, holes or tears. Washing caused a bit of migration of the purple into the beige areas of the print, creating a faint pinkish tone in some places - it is not visible unless you are doing a close inspection. The dress was previously owned by a smoker and smelled like it. After being washed, the cigarette smell is quite faint, but it may be more noticeable when it arrives in your mailbox after being closed up in a plastic bag for its protection. If so, airing it out for a few days should help.
