Description: Step back in time with this vintage 50s cotton dress, perfect for any occasion from casual to formal. The dress features a novelty steamboat print and a circle skirt, with a sleeveless design and a boat neck. The dress is made from 100% cotton, making it lightweight and breathable, and it comes in a size S with a regular fit. The dress has a zip closure and is wrinkle-resistant, making it perfect for travel or parties. It also has accents such as a buckle and a belted waist, adding a touch of classic 50s style. This dress is a perfect addition to any wardrobe, whether you're looking for a retro-inspired look or just a comfortable and stylish dress. I love a graphic novelty print, and this one surprised me with its theme of the Robt E Lee Showboat, promising “A grand old time” for 50 ct, with such acts as the Varieo Minstrel Musical. Depictions of steamboats with the old one starred flag and bulletin boards in orange, green, gray and RWB on an ivory background. The boatneck collar and attached belt are in a pale orange. The back features a drop bare back with a pointed collar style. Metal zipper closure, plus, hooks and eyes for closure. I believe this was handmade. Wide, full circle skirt allows for crinoline, which I used for photos, but is not included. This dress is in near pristine condition for its age. The only issues are a very light spot on crease in boat collar and a light discoloration under arms from deodorant. I believe they can’t be cleaned out. I have not cleaned this dress, but it has no odors and I am leaving that to the buyer, the choice to have dry cleaned or handwash. Measurements are taken lying flat, one side, and doubled when necessary: Bust pit to pit is 16” Shoulder to waist (top of belt) 13” Waist to hem (bottom of belt) 23.5” Skirt sweep 42” Waist is approximately 26” unbelted, can be cinched smaller with belt. * We sell vintage and new!
