Nipped waist above a full-circle skirt to wear with or without a crinoline (ours, shown in most of the photos, is not included). Unlined. Pinked Seams. Nylon YKK side zip. From the late 1950s or early 60s.
Labels: none - appears to be home sewn with loving care
Fiber/Care: no label, feels like a cotton/poly blend, washable
Condition: there is some minor pilling all over (see close-up photos). we've restitched a few open seams and both sleeve hems.
*This dress is freshly laundered and ready to wear.
