Vintage 1950s Novelty Print Dress - SCARCE and CUTE Olive Green Atomic Tableware Shirtwaist Size M to L

♛Details

Super-duper cute vintage 1950s dress in a crisp mid-weight cotton of olive green, printed all over with chartreuse, aqua, lavender, and black novelty forks, spoons, and knives and finished off with sparkling faceted jet glass buttons. Darling print looks like a Laura Jean Allen/Associated American Artists effort, but I couldn't find it out there in the wild. Button-up shirtwaist bodice with tie at neck; gently fitted sheath skirt with rear kick pleat.
