Original Vintage 60s Floral Shift Dress
This is such a cute little dress. It is made from cotton (possibly a blend) which is so lightweight it’s almost completely sheer. The bold floral pattern is sweet and quite different to anything you’ll find on the high street.
The cut is a very simple shift-fitted at the shoulders with a barely defined waist. The wide collar adds some personality and the little bow is so cute. This cut is great as it is easy to customise it to fit your body shape-it could be as easy as just adding a belt.
It's in lovely vintage condition with no visible damage apart from a couple of little brown drop shaped stains on the front. They aren’t really visible though and don’t detract from the rest of the dress.
All items are cleaned then stored so may need a refresh.
Approximately a UK size 18. However this is a guide so you'll need to make sure you measure yourself as well and refer to the actual measurements below.

Terms of Sale
We are committed to the highest standards in authenticity and preparation of the vintage clothes we sell, and do our best to ensure that you won't find any unexpected problems with them.
But these are always one-off items, with non-standard sizing and around 40 to 80 years old, so only rarely will they be in mint condition.
Bearing all that in mind, we want you to be thrilled with anything you buy from us, so if you have any reason to think that it is not right, please drop us a line. We will always accept returns (14 days, and you will need to pay the return postage cost) and can either exchange for an alternative (in which case, we'll cover the cost of shipping the exchange item to you) or give a refund on the cost of the item (the shipping charge will then normally be deducted from the refund you receive).
Sizing
The actual dress measurements are specified in my listing above.
A good way to check sizing is to use the measurements provided to compare against a similar dress of your own which you know fits you well.
I do give dress sizes for guidance, and just so you know, this is how I work it out:
UK size Bust in cm Waist in cm Hips in cm Euro size
8 80 - 84 62 - 66 87 - 91 36
10 84 - 88 66 - 70 91 - 96 38
12 88 - 92 70 - 75 96 - 101 40

16 97 - 102 80 - 85 106 - 111 44

Our ethos is all about true period vintage clothing of the highest quality; we do not sell any retro reproductions and everything is to the best of our knowledge a genuine item of the period described.
