Was $58 now only $50! Adorable little later 50's cheerful sheath with a wide sailor-styled collar. This dress is a heavy nubby cotton fleck with orange and white. It has 6 orange 1" buttons going down the front and has an orange sateen little bow on the front. Very Lucille Ball circa later 50's! The dress was hand made and is nicely tailored/rendered.
The sheath is straight cut and has a darted bust and has a very large exaggerated white collar. The collar is 5" at widest. The material is a cotton fleck weave and is quite heavy. The skirt is also lined in cotton and it has a generous 3.5" hem.
This dress will fit a medium size and when flat measures:
18.5" across bust
unfitted waist that is 17.5" across
19" max hips
arm holes are 9" across
back shoulders are 14.25" across
Dress is 41.5" long and hits at calf level
Dress is in VG to Excellent condition. There is some very faint spots on the white collar (see last photos) and the interior of the dress at the top has some water spotting/staining that does not show when wore. No rips, tears, stains on the exterior of the dress and colors are nice and vibrant.

*Please keep in mind that my vintage garments are usually at a minimum
20 years old and in many cases 50 up to 100 years old. They are not pristine. There may be a stitch or two broken at a seam, or pin holes. I do strive to describe garments accurately and honestly, but there is a very fine line between “vintage charm” and “flawed”.
