This is an adorable late 1950s to early 60s vintage dress with matching jacket by "Minx Modes"! The dress is tan Irish linen and is a simple, tailored, figure flattering sheath, sleeveless, with a square neckline trimmed with beige and brown floral crochet lace. A matching linen bow is a jaunty detail on the left front neckline. The dress is shaped with vertical seams and bust darts and has a hem that ends just below the knee with a rear kick pleat and a 2" hem allowance finished with satin ribbon. It closes with an 11" long tan metal Talon brand left side zipper in a hidden placket and a hook & eye that crosses the zipper at the side of the waist.

The matching jacket is a cute short cropped bolero in the same floral lace, and it picks up the matching linen as trim under a band of additional lace around the curved hem, with a linen front waist bow. It has a small pointy collar, scalloped hem and short sleeves, mesh lining in the collar and placket, and it closes with eight white rhinestone buttons and two metal snaps, one at the throat and one at the waist.

Both pieces are in very good clean condition, steam cleaned, with one issue - the button second from the top is missing a rhinestone, no other flaws or wear noted. The label in the jacket says "Minx Modes." This garment comes from the estate of a former librarian who saved all her adorable 1950s clothes!
