60s Mini Dress Vintage Pucci-Inspired Print 70s Sundress Baby Doll M/L VFG
What a great vintage dress, with its flattering babydoll style, sized for a larger woman and in a wonderful print! The dress is sleeveless, with a vee-neck wrap front bodice, high but not quite empire, and wide waistband. The full skirt is gathered into the waist.
SIZE: No size label. The bust measurement has some leeway due to the wrap front.

FABRIC/COLORS: Gorgeous Pucci inspired print with a geometric edge - it looks like square art tiles with vibrant striped borders. The "tile" patterns range from Mediterranean to Art Nouveau style.Colors are vibrant - primarily tomato red and spring green with some purple and pink, all against a white background. The fabric is light weight and silky, in a twill-type weave. Based on a fiber burn test, it is synthetic, most likely a nylon/poly blend. The dress is fully lined in a lightweight celery green acetate type fabric.
TAGS: No tags on the dress - I think it was most likely custom sewn. There was printed information about the fabric maker along the selvedge of the original hem - it says Couleur International Ltd.
CLOSURES: Long metal zipper down the back
CONDITION: The dress was originally a maxi - I shortened it to its current length because of fabric damage near the original hem.
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.
