Description
This peach and white striped, unworn/deadstock 1960s mini dress is the ultimate in mod style! The fit is designed to be a bit loose all over, with a moderately A-line silhouette, and darts to shape the bust slightly. A white vinyl belt defines the low waist/high hip. White banded trim circles the round neckline and arm openings. Just add some white go-go boots or kitten heels, for an iconic 60s look!
Made of unlined, soft 100% cotton interlock (lightweight double knit), this sleeveless minidress should be great for wearing on even the hottest summer days. The cotton fabric may shrink very slightly when the dress is first laundered; I recommend air-drying for best results. There is a small amount of give to the fabric (see measurements).
In near excellent condition, the only issue to note with this striped peach and white 1960s mod minidress is a small yellowed mark on the inner side of the banded collar, where the original paper label was resting against it during its long storage. This may or may not wash out, but is unseen when the dress is worn.
