Vintage 1960s Dress - Super Soft Cotton Blend Honeydew Melon Green Shirtwaist Size L

♛Details

This is one of those colors I find aggravating to photograph, but in person it’s a serene honeydew melon green.

Vintage early 1960s shirtwaist in that super-soft cotton blend that feels like your favorite vintage sheets. Button-loop collar can be worn two ways, as shown.

Closures: Lucite buttons

Waist about 30"/tight 32"

Hips full

♛Condition

Great vintage shape overall.

Nitpicks: one faint greyish pinhead dot on a cuff and a small, faint tan trace mark on the opposite sleeve near shoulder. Dress has been thoroughly washed; these marks lightened but did not fully disappear. Priced with this in mind, though I do doubt anyone would ever notice!
