Details

1965 designer cherry red knit dress with killer matching criss-cross buckle-belt that matches the X-shaped detail at the neckline. A rare style that actually features a stretchy elastic waistband, so it suits a range of sizes.

The elastic waist was very much a touted "feature" for this brand!

•Fabric(s): a cotton knit that's made to look and feel like a smooth, warm wool! but no scratch! great textile, wish I saw more like it

•Lined: no

•Closures: rear metal zipper

•Designer/Labels: A Fischer Fashion, Cleveland...see ads from 1965 for same dress! I prefer her with the belt worn flipped to mirror its neckline, but either way works

Any accessories or belts shown in photos are prop pieces and not included unless mentioned.
