Really lovely autumn floral early 60s dress in a deep brown with dark green and lime roses. Fitted bodice with wide scooped neck and short sleeves. Fitted waistband. Full midi length skirt. Inset back metal zipper. Fabric has a soft brushed texture, I think it is a blend of cotton and synthetic. No labels.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat and belt which is not included in the sale.
SIZE
The dress is labeled a size 36 but fits approx like an XS. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Fit on model: as shown
Chest: 36" (best fit slightly smaller, the inset zip to the back, makes this a little bit snug to get into, so would advice for a 32-33" bust)
Underbust: 33.5"
Waist: 27"
Hip: free
Shoulder to waist: 15"
Sleeve from underarm to cuff: 5.5"
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: approx 14"

(There is a very short hem on this)
CONDITION
Good condition.
-Some very very minor pilling.
-Hem looks like it has been altered, possibly let down? though there is no line, not even a creaseline. The hem it's zigzaged over on the inside and finished with a running stitch. Neither is really visible/noticeable when worn and skirt length is generous.
-Internally, it looks like this have had a petticoat underneath originally but this has been removed. Again, nothing that shows when worn.
