Vintage 1950's - 1960's Mini Dress | Deep Mocha Brown Cotton with White Swiss Dots & Ruffled Lace | S, M

This vintage 1950s to very early 1960s mini dress was made from a deep mocha brown cotton with a tiny white Swiss dot pattern throughout. Very flattering, with a sleek fitted bodice and a square neckline that is nicely adorned with a ruffled yoke. Large princess puffed sleeves with elastic bands that allow for adjustability, with a very, very full triple tiered ruffled skirt that falls to the upper portion of the thigh. This darling little dress closes up the center back with a long metal zipper. The most adorable dress I ever did see!

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
