Sweet little handmade early 60s sun dress with a metal zipper fastened front. Great flaming floral print in painterly brushstrokes in bright orange, red and light yellow and green. Fitted bodice with wide shoulder straps that button on to the front shoulder. Fitted waist with a slim matching belt. Full skirt with deep patch pockets on the hip, both with decorative gold buttons.
