50s Day Dress Women's Deadstock 60s Vintage Green Belted Summer Large to Extra Large VFG
A fresh pretty vintage 1960s dress for warm weather wear, deadstock and in a larger size! Simple classic styling with fitted bodice, seamed waist and six gore flaring skirt. 1" wide self fabric belt.
SIZE: Labeled 20.5, inside the dress. However, the hang tag says 18.5 and so does the back of the belt. Half sizes were frequently designed for the shorter waisted woman, so please consider all the measurements.

FABRIC/COLORS: Lightweight, I'm guessing a cotton/rayon blend based on a fiber burn test and the subtle sheen. The weave is lightly slubbed, giving a bit of textural interest. Color is what I would describe as spring green.
TAGS: No maker's tag
CLOSURES: Long metal zipper in back.
CONDITION: Excellent. New Old Stock brand new condition. I have repaired a small open seam skirt front.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
