Women's 50s 60s Dress Novelty Print Vintage Pink Gray Small to Medium VFG Judy Sue
This vintage 1950s/1960s day dress is absolutely charming! The bodice is short sleeved and fitted with darts. The banded collar turns into short fabric ties that knot at the neck. The skirt is knife pleated, lending a slightly more formal feel to the overall look.

FABRIC/COLORS: This novelty print - done on a cream background - looks spare at first glance, but the longer you look, the more you see. It depicts an urban park, with trees, a gazebo/bandstand, park benches, shrubbery and curlique metal chairs. A few of the chairs have human figures sitting in them. Most of the print resembles a charcoal drawing to me, in black and taupe-y gray. The splashes of pink suggest springtime blossoms. The fabric is a light to medium weight crepe. Based on a fiber burn test, I believe it is a rayon/acetate blend.

CLOSURES: The bodice closes with six small self fabric covered buttons, plus that cute tie at the neck. The waist fastens with a pair of snaps, and there is a 6" open placket below the waist. There are threaded belt loops but no belt.
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.
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.
