Vintage 60s Scooter Coat Dress gray stripes and polka dots MEDIUM

Description

60’s SCOOTER COATDRESS
Long sleeves Double knit
Medium

Dots and stripes in shades of gary! Its Mandarin collar is from the same striped double-knit as the button panel and belt, in contrast to the tone-on-tone gary polka dots.

Courreges started the coatdress "craze". with double breasted dresses, but the ideas were already starting with button-front dresses like this.

The silver tone buttons are carefully aligned down the middle gray stripe of the front closing, using two-hole ones to keep up the stripe line. The bodice has curved panels for a better fit, front and back, with a slight hint of a waistline, so this is not true A-line. above-the-knee, but would be hard to modify to make shorter because of the button panesl. The fabric is a polyester doubleknit which from the feel, though the higher-end dresses like this would have been wool. Of course it has a proper blind hem. on the bottom and the long sleeves.

=======================================
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!!!
