Psychedelic Zig Zag Halter Maxi dress - 1960s vintage - S to M

Description

70’s Chevron Zig-Zag Stripe Maxi DRESS - Black & White -- small to medium (top).

PSYCHEDELIC HALLUCINATIONS! This has a fantastic border print -- the stripes grade in thickness and size all the way to the ground!

Groovy Halter Tops -- Sixties. Maxi Dresses -- Seventies. So lets just call this one 1969! It's a polyester doubleknit, so it's heavy with quite a bit of stretch.

This dress is so cool. It's a straight A-line - quintessential 60's. It ties at the neck -- no hooks on the neckband. The back top had a loose elastic -- I replaced it with a tighter one. It looks like it fits OK, but my model has very broad shoulders, and it would be loose on most people. I also restitched the arm sides, since the threads had loosened over time, as they do with all that stretch. The hem is blind-hemmed.

If you need me to shorten this, I can do it for free if I just machine top-stitch. If you want me to blind hem it, I can, but I'll have to charge me. convo me!

========================================
ABOUT SIZING: I think it’s easier to visualize how something might fit if you compare your own measurements to those of my model. I don't pin anything, so you can see how it really hangs.
ABOUT YOUR FIT: Determine the measurements of something similar to this, for which you like the fit. They should be similar. Or compare your own body measurements to the model’s. Look at how this garment fits (or doesn’t)
ABOUT CONDITION: Assume excellent vintage (no repros), unless I say otherwise. Everything has been checked carefully. Loose seams or hems have been resewn, missing buttons replaced, pulled threads looped inside, and the washables have all been laundered. If dry cleaning is needed, I say so in the listing. And of course smoke-free!!!
